The Israeli occupation authorities assassinate the detainee Thaer Abu Asab from Qalqilia in Negev prison November 19, 2023 The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Society Prisoner’s Club announced the assassination of the detainee Thaer Samih Abu Asab, 38, from Qalqilia in Negev prison, where he was detained since 27/5/2005, and sentenced to (25) years, and he is the sixth detainee to be assassinated in prison since the 7th of October. In the light of this crime, the assassination of Abu Asab, we confirm that the Israeli occupation is pursuing deliberate systematic assassination operations against our detainees. - the actions carried out against our detainees by the occupation since October 7 reflects the decision of implementing systematic assassinations through different measures of torture and assault. This is reflected in the testimonies we received from released detainees, which indicate that hundreds of detainees got injured due to torture. - testimonies of released detainees confirmed that Negev prison witnessed the most terrifying attacks and crimes committed against detainees. - we confirm that the 7th of October is not the beginning of the occupation’s crimes , but it is an extension of the occupation’s approach. - the occupation imposed unprecedented isolation against detainees since the October 7, where they prevented lawyers visits. -in the light of the intense crimes implemented by the occupation, all international powers that support the occupation in its genocide in Gaza and the mass aggression against our people, must be held accountable. - we call upon all the free people around the world to continue raising our voices until detainees attain their freedom and the right to self determination.
