Tuesday 10-April-2018

The Israeli military court at the Mascoubiya detention center extended the remand of 24-year-old Omar al-Kiswani for another eight days.

According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) al-Kiswani has had his detention extended for the fifth consecutive time under the guise of investigation procedures.

Al-Kiswani has been made to endure harsh treatment and psycho-physical torture in Israeli dungeons ever since he was kidnapped by the occupation forces on March 7 from Birzeit University PPS added.

The detainee had reportedly gone through a 14-day hunger strike to protest his abject detention conditions.
