1. Khalida Jarrar:
"I suffered the horrors of solitary confinement under conditions no human mind can bear." /

Khalida continued,

2. Abla Saadat

"I spent 4 months in prison under administrative detention without trial and charge."

The conditions of prisons as "entirely inhumane. They treated us as if we were animals."

"They try to break our morale, to make us feel beneath them."

3. Journalist Rula Hassanein

Rula added ;

"There were countless violations. We couldn’t clip our nails, so we had to use our teeth. They stopped us from combing our hair, so we had to use plastic forks. They took our belongings clothes, and veils."

4. Dalal al-Arouri:

"We went through a difficult situation throughout captivity, with beatings, threats, shackling, intimidation, and more, up until the final moments of our release."

"The torture against me was because I am Al-Arouri's sister."

5. Hadeel Shatara:

"We were subjected to abuse and beatings until we reached the Red Cross buses. In prison, there is a complete system of oppression, torture, and deprivation of rights that would not occur to any sane person."

6. Dunia Shtayeh

"Conditions in the cells at the Hasharon were inhumane. I wouldn’t even call them cells—they’re more like graves. Small, tight, and literally unfit for a human to live in."

7. The cub Adam Al-Hadra. (18 years old)

"I was wounded while participating in a march in Al-Quds against the war and aggression on Gaza last year before I was abducted. I was deprived of appropriate treatment, and my condition worsened."

8. Latifa Msha'sha:

"We were left on the cold ground for nearly two hours, surrounded by dogs. It felt unbearable. They humiliated us, speaking in a degrading manner. We didn’t know where they would take us or what would happen next."

9. Ahmed Khashan (18 years old)

"Scabies affected all the captives, some even contemplated suicide, but they stayed steadfast." He added, "I feel happy but also sad for those I left behind—those who are older and have spent years in prison. May God grant them relief & support."

10. Sick child captive Rose Khweis (17 years old)

11. Hanan Hilal Maalwani (23 years old)

"Prison is literally the hardest thing in life."

12. Wounded captive Aseel Shuhada (19 years old)
