The Commission of Detainees: this is how the administration of Israeli prisons execute detainees in deliberate systematic way
The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees' Affairs confirmed that the administration of Israeli prisons is deliberately committing violations against sick and wounded detainees by neglecting their health conditions, pushing them to death.
The Commission pointed out that the level of health care provided for detainees is very poor, and many testimonies of detainees indicate that sick detainees are subjected to the worst health care ever in Israeli jails and detention centers.
The Commission also stressed that the treatment of sick detainees is an issue used by prisons' administration to bargain and practice pressure against them, which is considered a flagrant violation to articles (29, 30 and 31) of the Third Geneva Convention and articles (91 and 92) of the Forth Geneva Convention, which stipulates that sick detainees are entitled to the right to health and medical care and that they should be provided with the appropriate medicine and having periodic medical examinations.
The most prominent policies practiced by prisons' administration in a deliberate and systematic way to kill detainees:
•    Sick detainees suffer from bad detention conditions represented in: Lack of ventilation, extreme humidity, overcrowding; spread of insects, as well as shortages of cleaning supplies and insecticide.
•    Procrastinate in providing medical treatment and refraining from surgical treatment for sick detainees.
•    All sick detainees are treated in the same way by taking painkillers.
•    Lack of specialized doctors in prisons such as: ophthalmologists and dentists.
•    Lack of doctor shifts at night to treat emergency cases.
•    Lack of supervisors and psychotherapists; there are many psychological cases, which require special medical supervision, where there are more than 25 cases of mental disease.
•    Lack of medical assistive devices for people with special needs.
•    Not providing healthy meals for detainees that suit their illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases and others.
•    Lack of isolation rooms for sick detainees with infectious diseases which leads to spread the disease.
•    Transferring sick detainees to hospitals while being handcuffed, instead of transferring them in ambulance.
•    Depriving detainees with chronic diseases of their medication as a means of punishment.
•    Resort to torture and attack in dealing with sick detainees and use tear gas to suppress them.
•    Punitive measures aggravate their health conditions, represented in procrastination in providing medical treatment and transferring to hospitals, depriving them of family visits and solitary confinement.
•    The hospital of Al-Ramla prison lacks medical supplies, where detainees are treated with the same measures and cruel treatment as prison.
•     Provide expired medications to sick detainees.
•    Misusing the health condition of sick detainees in interrogating them by practicing pressure against them to force them confess guilt.
The Commission pointed out that the number of Captive Movement martyrs who died because of medical neglect since 1967 is (64), the last of which were the martyrs Fares Baroud from Gaza Strip and Nassar Taqatqa from Bethlehem, where the Israeli authorities still retaining their bodies.
The number of sick detainees in Israeli jails reached up to (700) male and female detainees, including (170) cases who have serious illnesses. (25) of them suffer from cancer, such as Bassam Sayeh and Sami Abu-Dyak. Moreover, there are (17) cases who are living permanently in the so-called Al-Ramla hospital, while tens of detainees suffer from disabilities, paralysis, kidney failure and heart diseases.
