Abu Al-Hummos: "We Warn Against the Systematic Execution of the Leaders Huwayl and Abu Rmeileh"

March 28, 2025

The Head of the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, Raed Abu Al- Hummos issued a stark warning today, Friday, about the deliberate and systematic slow execution policy being carried out against the two imprisoned leaders, Jamal Huwayl and Atta Abu Rmeileh.
He urgently called on the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross and all regional and international human rights and humanitarian organizations to take immediate action to halt this brutal practice before it is too late.

Abu Al-Hummos stressed that the overall conditions inside Israeli prisons and detention centers have reached an unprecedented level of cruelty and danger. However, what is being inflicted specifically upon Huwayl and Abu Rmeileh goes far beyond mistreatment, it is a deliberate assassination in slow motion. The prison administration relentlessly humiliates them, raids their cells at all hours, assaults them physically, and enforces a ruthless starvation policy aimed at breaking them down both physically and psychologically.

He further revealed that the systematic deprivation of food and essential medical care has caused both leaders to suffer extreme weight loss, shedding dozens of kilograms. Their health has now reached a life threatening stage, particularly Abu Rmeileh, whose weight has plummeted below 40 kilograms, placing him on the brink of death.

Abu Al-Hummos also disclosed that due to their catastrophic health deterioration, the prison administration was forced to isolate them in confinement cells, designated for detainees whose weight has remarkably decreased. Yet, instead of providing medical attention, they are being subjected to further neglect, locked in pairs under inhumane conditions.

He further warned that the brutal starvation policy imposed on them has already severely damaged their vital organs. Abu Rmeileh, in particular, suffers from a serious heart condition and urgently requires open-heart surgery, yet he remains deprived of necessary medical intervention, putting his life in imminent danger.

It is crucial to highlight that Jamal Huwayl, a prominent member of Fatah’s Revolutionary Council, has been imprisoned for the past eight months, while Atta Abu Rmeileh, the Secretary of Fatah’s regional branch, has been detained for approximately a year and a half. Both leaders, who hail from Jenin, were arrested under the pretext of incitement, yet they are now enduring a premeditated execution behind bars.
