Commission of Detainees uncovers details of abuses against detainee Mohammad Wajeeh Mahamid from Jenin

February 22, 2026

⭕️ On 15/11/2023, he was brutally beaten on his right knee with prison guards’ batons, resulting in a grave injury that left him unable to walk without the aid of crutches. The prison administration intermittently confiscates these crutches, further aggravating his condition.

⭕️ On 29/3/2025, he was assaulted once again on the same knee, leading to extreme swelling. It was later confirmed that the knee had been fractured. Despite the severity of his health condition, the prison administration limited its response to providing pain relief medication only, without providing proper medical intervention or transferring him to an outside hospital, reflecting the continued implementation of a systematic policy of medical neglect against ill detainees.

⭕️ These abuses lay bare the harsh conditions endured by detainees inside detention facilities, where they are denied their most fundamental human rights to adequate medical care and treatment, amid deliberate neglect by prison authorities to their escalating suffering.
