NABLUS (PIC)– The Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli Negev detention camp accused the prison administration of deliberately causing them permanent physical disabilities.
In a statement signed on behalf of the prisoners of five Palestinian factions and received by the PIC on Saturday the prisoners also accused the prison authority of attempted murder during the events inside the prison on Monday which resulted in the death of prisoner Mohamed Al-Ashqar and injury of about 250 others.
The prisoners charged that Israeli soldiers belonging to assault units called “Matsada” and “Nahshon” deliberately opened fire using various forms of weapons on the upper parts of the prisoners’ bodies.
“This explains why a large number of the injuries happened in the face and eyes” they said pointing out that 30 Palestinian prisoners are threatened with the loss of their eyesight as a result.
