 Addameer: ‘Israel’ holds 19 political detainees in dignity-undermining
conditions

October 9, 2021 - https://qudsnen.co/?p=30183

Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights
Association said that the occupation state is holding 19 political
detainees in harsh and “dignity-undermining conditions” in isolated cells
in the desert Negev prison.

Addameer’s attorney of the prisoner Nabeel Mughayyer said that the
detainees are undergoing “very harsh and dignity-undermining” conditions,
which include collective punishments and torture.

He added that the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) has been holding the
prisoners in section 6 after taking away all their personal belongings.
They have been held in cells that are not suitable for humans, since the
Gilboa prison break.

He also said that the prisoners are completely disconnected from the world.
They have not received any visitation by the Red Cross or any organizations
except for Addameer’s attorney.

Mughayyer described the cells, in which they’re held, as being like a cave.
The cells have traces of fire on the walls, ground, and beds. They also
smell very bad and are poorly ventilated.

The IPS brings a blanket and a mattress for each prisoner every day after
midnight but they take them away before sunrise. The detainees suffer from
the cold weather, especially that they do not have clothes.

The windows of the cells are not covered with glass, which makes it easy
for insects and small desert animals to get inside.

The cells have only one toilet and a sink, from which they drink water. If
the detainees want to take a shower, they are handcuffed and taken outside.

Addameer said that the detainees are held in “unprecedented” unlawful
conditions. They have not been taken to court nor accused of charges. No
one of the IPS has contacted them and there is no time limitation for
isolating them.
