Additional restrictions and escalations against detainees in Ofer Prison 

 

 November 14, 2023 

 

 The Israeli authorities pursued the policy of torture and assault against our detainees since the beginning of the war, represented in isolating detainees, preventing phone calls and preventing family and lawyers visits in order to be able to violate their rights. For example, the Israeli special forces implemented an incursion to detainees rooms in 26/10/2023, and attacked them with intense beat, sound bombs and rubber bullets, leaving them bleeding without any medical assistance. 

 

 This attack was carried out under the pretext of bidding farewell to their colleague who was going to be released. In the same context, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs demonstrated in a report issued today, a series of penalties carried out against detainees:

 

 1. Prevent phone calls with families 

 2. IPS prevents lawyers from visiting detainees since the beginning of the war on Gaza 

3. Prevent family visits 

 4. Confiscate electric appliances from section 5. Prevent using canteen 

6. Confiscate food items from sections 

7. Provide insufficient quantity of food  

8. Separate minors from elderly detainees 

 9. Implement provocative inspections to detainees rooms 

10. Turn detainees rooms into cells 

 11. The clinic of Alramla prison does not provide any medical services or medicines, and only provides painkillers to detainees each ten days.
