Dozens of Palestinians freed from Israeli prisons show signs of torture and famine, said the company of Palestinian prisoners following the last lot published on Saturday.
As part of the cease-fire agreement between Hamas and Israel, 183 Palestinians were released from Israeli prisons. They emerged by wearing stained gray prison combinations and with signs of years of detention.
Several of them looked tired and fragile when they were short of the bus to the European hospital of Khan Younis, Gaza, before being acclaimed through the crowd and finding their families.
“Whenever prisoners are released, we find the bodies of prisoners reflecting the level of crimes committed against them, including unprecedented torture in its level after October 7, crimes of famine, systematic medical crimes and the Infection of a certain number of them with scabies, in addition to the serious blows to which the prisoners were submitted before their release, which continued for days according to many of their testimonies, and which, in some cases, led to coast fractures, ”said the organization in a statement.
“The prisoner society again confirms that occupation practices organized terrorism against the liberated prisoners and their families, through several methods that have been monitored, the most important of which are the serious blows to which the liberated prisoners have been subject And the threats that have achieved the goal of killing if a reception party was organized or if the family showed a sign of reception. »»
One of the released Palestinians said: “In the past 15 months, we have been exposed to the most brutal torture … The Israelis treated us in a human. They treated animals better than us. »»
Addressing Al Jazeera, the Red Cross staff expressed their indignation at the way in which the prison service of Israel managed the prisoners released from Ketziot prison on Saturday.
According to their stories, the Palestinian detainees were released handcuffed with their hands above their heads with a group that said: “The people of eternity do not forget.”
Hamas said that Palestinian prisoners “abuse and torture” endured “confirm the ugliness of this [they] are subject to “in Israeli prisons.
He added in a press release that his armed wing, the Qassam brigades, did not fail to provide the health care necessary for Israeli captives despite the conditions in Gaza, including the implacable bombings and attacks of Israel which killed More than 47,000 people in the bent besieged since October 2023.
“The good physical and psychological condition of enemy prisoners proves the values of our resistance and its moral commitment to prisoners, while the criminal occupation commits the most odious violations against our prisoners in prison,” the group said.
Sources have told Al Jazeera that a Palestinian, Hussam Shahin, will be transferred to the hospital after having undergone surgery without anesthesia in prison.
Under the cease-fire agreement, 33 captives held by Hamas in Gaza must be released during the first six weeks of the truce in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians, many of whom have served life in Israel in Israel .
