Ramallah - Ma'an - The lawyer of the Prisoners' and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs Commission confirmed after her visit to Etzion Prison that things have been taking an escalating curve for the worse since last October 7 until today. Etzion Prison, where 115 prisoners are held, witnesses many repressive and retaliatory measures on a daily basis, as soldiers deliberately break into rooms under the pretext of searching, or bang on the iron doors of rooms at night to prevent prisoners from sleeping. This is accompanied by insults and death threats, and sometimes soldiers attack the prisoners. And he beat them without justification. The prison administration also uses food as a tool of torture and slow killing against prisoners, who have witnessed a sharp loss in weight, and whose bodies have become emaciated and weak, and the impact of diseases on them is double. It deliberately serves cold, bad-tasting meals in very small quantities, as it provides one slice of bread for every two prisoners. And two eggs for 12 priso ners. In protest, the prisoners returned their dinner on 04/24/2024, and in many cases they refuse to eat these meals, to put pressure on the prison administration to withdraw this step, but to no avail. In addition to the above, a few days ago, the soldiers collected all the towels and threw them in garbage cans, so that the prisoners would not be able to shower. The Commission's lawyer says that the prisoner, Muhammad Youssef Dar Al-Deek, from the town of Kafr Ni'ma / Ramallah, will begin an open hunger strike soon if he is not transferred from Etzion. He is one of the oldest prisoners who have been there for 70 days, and he was sentenced to administrative imprisonment for a period of 70 days. 6 months. Note that most of the prisoners do not know whether administrative rulings have been issued against them or about the duration of these unjust rulings. Meanwhile, the prisoner Amer Bajawi was brought from Jenin to the visiting room carried, as he was unable to walk alone at all. He had been exposed to gun fire during a previous invasion of the city of Jenin, which led to him being seriously injured in his neck, chest, foot, and face. His current condition is very difficult. The prisoners help him reach the bathroom, while the prison administration deliberately neglects him medically and only provides him with painkillers, at a time when he needs intensive medical care to complete his treatment.
