“The Negev Prison is like Guantanamo Bay. Everything is beyond what the mind can imagine.”
After enduring nine months of Israeli detention, Palestinian detainee Muazzam Khalil Abayat was released from the Negev prison in a shocking health condition. Abayat, 37, revealed the severe beatings and abuse he suffered while in custody, including broken limbs and torture.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) condemned the vicious assaults on Abayat, stating that his release highlighted the atrocities in Israeli prisons. Abayat’s case is just one of many, with scores of testimonies confirming the torture and abuse faced by Palestinian detainees.
Hamas denounced the behavior of Israeli forces, calling for international intervention and investigations. The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor also reported on the escalating abuse, including forced injections of unknown substances on Gaza detainees.
The plight of Palestinian prisoners underscores the need for justice and accountability for the crimes committed in Israeli detention centers, urging global bodies to take action against the perpetrators.
