The Palestinian prisoners in Negev jail suffer from harsh incarceration conditions and are exposed to administrative detention after serving their terms.
Ghassan Zughaibi a detainee released from Negev jail on Thursday affirmed that the Israeli security authorities ordered the detention of dozens of prisoners administratively in recent days.
Zughaibi who spent one year in administrative detention after he completed his eight-year term also said that the sick prisoners in the jail are deprived of receiving appropriate medical treatment and exposed to deliberate medical neglect.
He added that the prisoners also suffer from overcrowding in their cells as well as continual raids and maltreatment by soldiers.
The ex-detainee appealed to human rights and medical groups to intervene and pressure the Israeli authorities to improve the conditions of the prisoners in Negev jail and end its administrative detention policy against them.
