* The military court of appeal at Ofer prison releases the detainee Musheer shahateet from Hebron, after submitting a request by the lawyer of the Commission of detainees to reduce his sentence, where he was supposed to be free on 20/10/2022

* The detainee Zakaria Zubaidi is currently isolated in difficult conditions at Remon prison, where he is kept most of the time handcuffed which causes severe pain. The head of the Commission, Qadri Abu Baker, called on human rights organisations to intervene immediately to put an end to his suffering.

* The detainee Wael Ne'arat is suffering from bad health conditions in the isolation of Remon prison. He has numbness in his hands and legs, in addition to visual impairment and hair fall due to diabetes, however, the administration of prisons refused to conduct medical tests for him.

The Commission of Detainees and Ex_detainees Affairs confirmed in a report issued today that some members of the Nahshon special forces have recently abused minor detainees sexually, during the inspection process before transferring them to trials.

The Commission pointed out that according to testimonies of many minor detainees, who are currently held at Megiddo prison, they have been subjected to sexual harassment in a degrading manner by touching their sexual organs deliberately.

The Commission directed the advocate staff to monitor this issue, where minors are victims of the jailers' barbaric desires. Moreover, the Commission called on the international organisations and human rights organisations to intervene immediately to save those children and stop targeting them before destroying their future.

The Israeli occupation authorities have arrested (375) Palestinians on July 2022, including (28) minors and (2) women, in addition to (191) administrative detention including (61) new orders and (126) extending orders.

Arrest cases were accompanied by flagrant violations against detainees and their families, where the Israeli authorities intended to use excessive force, attack, destroying their belongings and field interrogation with captives in front of their families. Moreover, they implemented the policy of collective punishment against Palestinian cities and villages represented in collective arrests and using live ammunition to intimidate people.

This information came within the joint monthly report issued by detainees' institutions and human rights organizations (the Commission of Detainees and Ex-detainees' Affairs, the Palestinian Society Prisoner's Club, Al Dameer Association for Human Rights and Wadi Hilweh Information Center). The report showed   that there are currently (4550) detainees in held in Israeli prisons, including (27) women, (175) minors and (670) administrative detainees.

Violations committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against detainees during arrests

The policy of collective punishment and collective arrests in Palestinian cities:

The occupation authorities tend to use collective punishment as affirm policy against Palestinian cities and villages, where they intend to break through the cities with high number of troops, conducting inspection campaigns with vandalism actions as a means of revenge against detainees' families.

A case in point is Silwad town, where the occupation authorities broke through the town on July 2022 and implemented a vast campaign of arrests with 30 captives.

Ihsan Hamed (21 years) from Silwad, was subjected to field interrogation and attack during his arrest. His mother stated "they broke through the house at 5:30 am, accompanied by intelligence officers and entered Ihsan's room and started to interrogate him. They isolated us in different places, and the interrogation lasted for 3 hours. They destroyed the house belongings, broke the beds and tore up the furniture"

Another case in point is the detainee Taher Hamed (24 years), who got arrested in 29/6/2022. His mother stated "a high number of soldiers broke through our house in a brutal way and attacked my son while being asleep at the living room, handcuffed him and started to beat him on the head and legs. His sister tried to film this violation but the soldiers confiscated her phone and beat her on the legs.

The detainee Saadeya Faraj-Allah and the details of health deterioration and martyrdom, according to testimonies of Damoun detainees:

The detainees Saadeya Faraj-Allah (68 years) has been arrested last January. She's currently held at Damoun prison, and suffers from many health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Her health conditions deteriorated and started to use a wheelchair.

Female detainees stated "the health condition of the detainee Saadeya Faraj-Allah deteriorated last June, where we noticed swelling in her left arm and we asked help from the officer to move her to the clinic.  She has been transferred to a hospital in Israel and underwent many medical checkups and claimed all is well. Last July she felt tiredness and transferred to the clinic of the prison and underwent many checkups and then they announced her death.

The "Me'bar" sections in Israeli prisons

 The prisons administration does not stop abusing detainees in arbitrary ways and measures, aiming at disturbing and oppressing them. These measures are represented in detaining them in sections designated to hold the detainee for a certain period before he is transferred to the courts, other prisons, or one of the hospitals.

Recently, many complaints were monitored by detainees who suffered from tragic conditions of detention and life inside those sections, especially the Me'bar section in Ramlah prison. A case in point is the detainee Fahmi Mashahreh who has been moved to from Beersheba prison to another prison for interrogation and then was held at the Me'bar section in Ramlah prison.

According to his testimony "the Me'bar section in Ramlah prison is a narrow cage, which can only accommodate eight people, but the prison administration deliberately holds more than 20 prisoners in that limited space, without taking into account the sick and elderly prisoners. In addition, the toilet in that section is very dirty, and there is no clean place to pray". It is worthy to mention that the detainee Mashahreh is from Jerusalem, he's detained since 2002 and ruled to 20 life sentences.

The head of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Qadri Abu Baker, stated that detainees are going to escalate their struggling plan to attain their demands, where this plan started today with dissolving the organisational bodies.

This means that the administration of prisons is forced to deal with each detainee separately. Abu Baker announced the steps that will be implemented by detainees, where 1000 detainees will go through a hunger strike next September, and the number will duplicate to reach 2000, in addition to returning their meals and other preliminary steps preceding the collective hunger strike.

Abu Baker confirmed that the strike is not the aim, but it is the last solution for them. The aim behind this struggling plan is disclaiming their rights and demands by the administration of prisons.

He also pointed out that the administration of prisons tend to deprive detainees from their rights, especially after the "freedom tunnel" , where tens of detainees got isolated.

Moreover, he related to the international solidarity with detainees and full support for their struggling plan.
