Jailers at Ramla prison torture the detainee on hunger strike, Ghadanfar Abu Atwan

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs stated today, that jailers at the clinic of Ramla prison have attacked the detainee Ghadanfar Abu Atwan, who is on hunger strike since 36 days, over the past three days by beating and humiliation.

The Commission pointed out that the Prisons' Service has transferred Abu Atwan from Ohelekdar prison to the clinic of Ramla prison last Thursday. Jailers attacked him in his room at the first day of transfer and beat him in a brutal way all over his body.

In response, the detainee Abu Atwan burned his bed mattress inside his room, then jailers opened fire extinguisher toward him to make him feel suffocated. They took him to the hospital and returned him to prison again. Jailers wanted to inspect him while being naked, but he refused and jailers attacked him again by beating, hanging and keeping him naked for 12 hours.

The Commission stated that the detainee has been tried inside the prison and sentenced to solitary confinement for one week.

The detainee Abu Atwan suffers from leanness and several pains all over his body due to his strike.

Recently, he started to have respiratory problems, headache and pain in the kidney due to ignoring his health conditions and refusing his just demands of ending his administrative detention.
