GAZA, (PIC)
The Ministry of Detainees in Gaza has described the practices that have happened against Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip in the notorious jail of Sde Teiman as systematic and deliberate violations and war crimes committed at the behest of Israeli leaders.
“We watched the ridiculous play that took place in front of Sde Teiman prison, whose cast are members of the Israeli Knesset and ministers of Netanyahu’s government and officials from the security and military establishment,” the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
The ministry said that what those Israeli lawmakers and officials did yesterday at the prison of Sde Teiman was aimed at convincing the international public opinion that the violations that happened in the jail were individual actions.
“However, the truth is that systematic torture practices have happened in the jail and led to the martyrdom of a large number of Palestinian prisoners,” the ministry added.
The ministry also described the reported transfer of many prisoners to hospitals due to their exposure to torture and abuse inside Sde Teiman prison as a flagrant violation of the international law and a war crime, calling for shutting down this detention facility.
