*Heartbreaking testimonies of pain and suffering for Gaza detainees held in Ofer prison*
*August 4, 2024*
The lawyer of the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs managed to visit three of Gaza detainees held in Ofer prison last week, who recounted with overwhelming pain and suffering the inhumane treatment they experienced by the Israeli jailers and soldiers.
The lawyer revealed the violations committed against detainees, especially during the initial months of war, through a visit to detainees Mohammad Jamous, 44, detained since last March, the administrative detainee Fadi Ayyad,39, and Fadi Hqaidi, 38.
They testified the following: “We have been exposed to actual fascism, as we were stripped of our clothes, intensively beaten , tortured and assaulted. They shackled our hands and feet, and blindfolded our eyes. We were turned into prey to these monsters, who enjoyed our hunger, thirst, screams and illnesses. We still do not believe that we are still alive“.
Detainees stated: “We speak on the behalf of ourselves, but this is the voice of all Gaza detainees who were detained after October 7. The death journey begins at the first moment of arrest, passing through transportation in military vehicles, in which they humiliate and deny our humanity with torture and assault, arriving at prison, where we wished to die for what we have seen of the soldiers hatred. They abuse us with different methods, they broke our bones and left us bleeding from the heads and all body parts. They transferred us to hospitals, in which a new series of murder began, to the extent that we could not comprehend what is happening “.
They added: “Since our detention, we spent most of the time sitting on our feet or lying on the stomach. We don’t have the right to express our pain regardless of the torture we are subjected to. They used dogs to terrify and attack us, in addition to pepper spray and tear gas that was sprayed in our rooms without any reason. We don’t exaggerate when we say that the majority of Gaza detainees have fainted several times due to intense beat. We witnessed the martyrdom of many detainees , such as detainee Islam Sarsawi, who died due to beat and torture”.
Detainees concluded: “Today, all of us are sick, our bodies are exhausted, we became victims of diseases, injuries and torture. We do not receive any treatment or medicine, but despite the miserable conditions, we still have hope to return alive to our families. We challenge this fatal reality with all its details to embrace our parents, wives and children “.
