Friday 27-April-2018

Three Palestinians have been subjected to violent beating by the Israeli occupation forces prior to their detention.

According to the Commission of Prisoners’ and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs the Israeli military attacked 23-year-old Akram al-Atrash from the Duheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem after they stormed his relatives’ home at nightfall.

Israeli soldiers beat al-Atrash’s head against the wall and the kitchen sink leaving him bleeding. He had also been enduring excoriating pains in his shoulder as a result of the violent beating following which he was dragged to the Ofer detention center.

Some six months ago al-Atrash was hit with Israeli bullet fire causing him severe pains in his chest left lung stomach and shoulder.

The detainee underwent medical check-ups at the Israeli Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital but has not received proper medical treatment.

The occupation forces also attacked Ahmed al-Amour from Tekou’ town after they broke into his family home overnight. He was later taken to the Etzion detention center where he had been verbally and physically assaulted by Israeli soldiers while being handcuffed and blindfolded in an attempt to force him to confess to the alleged charges.

33-year-old Mohamed Jarrar from Jenin had also been heavily beaten for over 18 hours during the investigation procedure at al-Jalama detention center before he was transferred to the Meggido dungeon.
