The Hamas Movement said that the martyrdom of prisoner Musab Adili, 20, from the town of Huwwara, south of Nablus, proves that the “Zionist occupation and its fascist prisons service continue to take revenge of and torture Palestinian prisoners, depriving them of the most basic human rights, while continuing the policy of medical neglect, which means slow killing of detainees in Israeli occupation prisons.”
The Movement mourned the martyr Adili, who passed away in the Israeli Soroka Hospital last night, noting that he had been held captive since 3/22/2024, and was sentenced to 13 months of actual imprisonment.
Hamas pointed out that his martyrdom came on the eve of Palestinian Prisoner’s Day and with the approach of his freedom, as he was supposed to be set free after three days.
It added that this crime raises the number of martyrs among prisoners since the onset of the genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023 to 63 martyrs, which is a dangerous unprecedented number that shows that Israel continues its abuse and attacks against prisoners, not caring about human rights demands and appeals to provide them with humane treatment as stipulated in international conventions and laws.
The Movement warned against the continuation of this criminal policy pursued by Israel against Palestinian prisoners, as holding thousands of them captive under harsh and inhumane conditions with torture, starvation and medical neglect, endangers their lives at any given moment.
Hamas renewed its call to all free people of the world and human rights and lawful authorities to pressure Israel and hold it accountable for its crimes against the Palestinians, and to support the prisoners in light of the tragic and difficult conditions they are subjected to.
