The Commission of Detainees' Affairs and the Palestinian Society Prisoners' Club released a statement of accounts from the commission's lawyer, Khaled Mahajna and journalists Muhammad Arab and Tareq Abed.
The following includes accounts of torture, abuse, and sexual violence. 🧵

The journalist Muhammad Arab, before being tranferred from Ofer prison to Sde Teiman camp, witnessed a sick Palestinian prisoner begging for treatment. Arab reports that the prisoner was denied treatment, and instead attacked and murdered by Israeli forces.

Journalist Muhammad Arab himself, who related his experiences, recounted being interrogated inside of Sde Teiman camp upon his visit. He reports being threatened with punishment for sharing details of his experience at the prison and camp.

Journalist Arab reported Palestinian prisoners being raped. He recounted a case in which a Palestinian prisoner was completely stripped, had a fire extinguisher inserted into his backside, and the materials sprayed inside him.

This prisoner is reportedly suffering under very severe physical and psychological conditions at this time.

Another Palestinian prisoner was reportedly completely stripped and electrocuted in his back, his genitals harmed, and he was subjected to other acts of sexual violence.

Other methods of torture by Israeli forces against Palestinian prisoners described in the statement include detainees being placed on the ground with their hands restrained behind their heads, severely beaten and attacked by dogs.

There are reportedly more than 100 Palestinian prisoners and detainees who are sick and/or injured without adequate access to medical treatment. A number of Palestinian prisoners were recently subjected to severe attacks, in which some of them sustained fractures.

In Ofer prison, the conditions are reported to including the following: cells are not ventilated and only measure 5-6 meters; they include iron beds without mattresses or pillows; as many as 25 Palestinian prisoners are held in these cells.

The statement reports that Palestinian prisoners are forced to eat while being handcuffed, and do not have sufficient access to food. Each detainee is reported to have 100 grams of bread, a cucumber or a tomato and this is considered to constitute breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Within the prison cells, restrooms are reportedly not covered, and the rooms are surveilled via cameras, which also have a view of the restrooms. Palestinian prisoners are reportedly only given 1 minute to shower.

The statement also reports that within Ofer prison, one of the sections is referred to as "Hell", in which Palestinian prisoners are not able to see one another but can hear voices as they are tortured.

From this report we can see the culmination of months of extremely severe conditions in colonial prisons/torture camps. Palestinian prisoners are facing systematic torture and neglect on a daily basis. Systematic torture is a crime against humanity.
