The International Campaign to Support Prisoners in Israeli jails—Tadhamun—held the Israeli occupation authorities responsible for the life of the injured Palestinian detainee Nael Abu al-Assal 32.
Prisoner Nael Abu al-Assal sustained injuries on his way to the Ofer court via an Israeli “Bosta” while he was chained and handcuffed. He sustained vertebral fractures causing him severe pains.
The Israeli prison service denied him urgent treatment and only provided him with pain relievers.
Tadhamun said the Bosta vehicle which Palestinian detainees are often transferred to/from Israeli court/jails are “makeshift cells” with very bad smells and poor ventilation.
Tadhamun said such transfers represent serious violations of the detainees’ rights and contravene the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949.
The campaign urged all human rights institutions to take urgent action vis-à-vis such preplanned Israeli crimes against Palestinian prisoners.
The “Bosta” is the Israeli prison transfer vehicle in which the Palestinian prisoners are cuffed all the way to and back from court or clinic while sitting on metal chairs.
