The Washington Post interviewed Palestinians prisoners and accessed details of autopsies to document three deaths in Israel's Megiddo #Prison One Palestinian inmate died with a ruptured spleen and broken ribs after being beaten by Israeli prison guards. Another met an excruciating end because a chronic condition went untreated. A third screamed for help for hours before dying.” The three prisoners are among at least 12 Palestinians from the #WestBank and Israel to die in Israeli jails since 7 October, according to Physicians for Human Rights #Israel (PHRI), whose members sat in on the autopsies. “Violence is pervasive,” Jessica Montell, executive director of the Israeli rights group HaMoked, told The Post. “It’s very overcrowded. Every prisoner that we’ve met with has lost 30 pounds.” Septic shock and respiratory failure following the beating were listed as potential causes of death. The Israeli Prison Service has not provided the official autopsy results to Bahash’s family, nor have they returned his body. #gaza #IsraelTerroristState #IsraelWarCrimes #warcrimes #genocide

“The total number of arrests stands at 10,000 in the West Bank and Jerusalem,” the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS), and Addameer Association for Human Rights said in a joint brief released Monday. Since 7 October, 345 women and 700 children have been imprisoned in the occupied #WestBank and #Jerusalem, according to the brief. It adds that 94 #journalists have been detained, 53 of who are still in custody. “More than 8,322 orders of administrative detention have been issued since 7 October, ranging between new orders and renewals, including orders against children and women,” the brief goes on to say. “The data does not include detention cases of #Gaza, due to the occupation’s refusal to give any information and the continuation of practicing the crime of enforced disappearance against them. The occupation forces arrested about 4,000 citizens from Gaza. At least 22 #Palestinians have died in Israeli custody, according to official numbers. The head of Israel’s Shin Bet security service, Ronen Bar, warned in a letter to #Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir in late June that 21,000 Palestinians are imprisoned in jails across #israel. #IsraelWarCrimes #prison #HumanRights #IsraelApartheid #IsraelTerroristState #Palestine

Israeli Prison Guards Filmed Abusing [#Palestinian] Detainees; #prison Service Says It's a 'Routine Exercise' "#Israeli Prison Service personnel in the security wing of Megiddo Prison handcuffed and humiliated detainees on Friday morning, despite no unusual incident occurring in the prison. "Photos and videos obtained by Haaretz show dozens of detainees lying on their stomachs while handcuffed, some without clothes, as a guard dog barks over their heads. The Prison Service described this as a 'routine exercise.' "In numerous cases, detainees and prisoners in Megiddo prison have reported being subject to violence and severe abuse by prison guards, including kicking, punching, blows to the testicles and other forms of humiliation. Since the outbreak of the war, Palestinian detainees in the security wing, as well as those with Israeli citizenship, reported being beaten by guards and being forced to sing songs, often while in handcuffs, as a form of humiliation. "A senior member of the Prison Service confirmed in a conversation with Haaretz that the organization is aware of the severe violence directed at detainees and prisoners in Megiddo prison."

Israel has opened an underground #prison for detainees from #Hamas and #Hezbollah groups where they are denied access to sunlight, according to Israeli media cited by the Anadolu news agency. According to the Israeli public broadcaster KAN, the facility, located in central #Israel, is designed to house “the most dangerous individuals” from Hamas’s elite forces and Hezbollah’s Radwan Unit. “This is their natural place, underground,” far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the police, reportedly told KAN. The broadcaster said some 75 detainees were currently being held at the underground prison. “Even the small window in the ward has been sealed off for the detainees,” it added. Describing the conditions in the underground prison as harsh, KAN said detainees there are shackled and confined to their cells for 23 hours a day. “They are allowed only one brief opportunity per day to step into a small, enclosed yard,” it added. “Even this small yard is completely closed and the sunlight can’t reach it, and detainees are allowed to go out into it once a day.” https://www.palestinechronicle.com/sunlight-cant-reach-it-israel-holds-detainees-in-underground-prison/ #IsraelTerroristState #Palestine #IsraelWarCrimes #HumanRights@palestine@a.gup.pe @mondoweiss@social.mondoweiss.net @palestinenews@gts.liberated.press

"As far as we know, nobody from the outside world has entry into these detention centers. […] "A detainee can be held for up to a hundred and eighty days without counsel. That’s six months that a person can be held without having the right to visitation by a lawyer."

Scabies is an itchy skin rash caused by a tiny burrowing mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. Intense itching occurs in the area where the mite burrows. The need to scratch may be stronger at night. Scabies is contagious and can spread quickly through close person-to-person contact in a family, child care group, school class, nursing home or prison. Prison authorities help scabies to spread by restricting inmates’ water supply and depriving them of clean clothes and medical care.

In August 2024, NGO B'tselem published a report on what it calls 'torture camps': “B’Tselem collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps. https://www.btselem.org/publications/202408_welcome_to_hell @israel@a.gup.pe #oneState #Palestine #GazaWar #revenge #israelPalestine #prison #torture #detainees #humanRights #warCrimes

Haaretz has a detailed story on the Israeli gulags in which the state holds nearly 10,000 Palestinians. The vast majority of them have not been charged or convicted. https://archive.ph/LdVXQ @palestine@fedibird.com It is very hard to read. You do not have to read it. Simply acknowledge that the Israeli newspaper of reference documents the regime’s detention facilities. It is safer to browse the camps and torture reports by other outlets that you can find in this very thread. 🧵 #torture #prisoners #stateViolence #administrativeDetention #detention #israel #israelPalestine #prison #prisons #warCrimes #PalestinianLivesMatter #JewishSupremacy #brutalization #humanRights #Palestine #Haaretz

Kash Patel's #FBI investigated and prosecuted head of Florida Atlantic University's Center of Autism and Related Disabilities after she filed an unsubstantiated claim as a Jeffrey Epstein victim. Jennifer Percival, who holds a Doctorate in Philosophy, resigned from the school two days after pleading #guilty in #federalcourt to falsifying documents in an effort to receive $750,000 compensation from a fund set up for victims of Palm Beach sex predator #JeffreyEpstein. Percival, who had previously been rejected by a prior Epstein compensation fund, refiled with forged docs, lied to #FBI agents, and has now given a #restitution check of $776k upon plea, and likely faces three to four years in #prison.
