️BREAKING: Hamas Statement:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The abuse, physical and psychological torture, medical neglect, starvation, and thirst inflicted on our prisoners constitute a full-fledged war crime.
The harrowing testimonies of released prisoners, confirming their exposure to abuse and beatings just days before their scheduled release and even up to the final moments before their freedom, along with the physical and psychological torture, medical neglect, starvation, thirst, and deprivation of medication that our prisoners endure in the occupation’s prisons, constitute a full-fledged war crime and a brutal violation of international laws concerning prisoners—systematically committed by the occupation government.
Reports in the Hebrew media citing International Committee of the Red Cross officials confirming the inhumane treatment of released prisoners at the hands of occupation soldiers and the zionist prison authorities necessitate intensified efforts from the international organization to monitor the conditions of Palestinian prisoners, report their findings to the relevant international bodies, and work to ensure the respect of their rights in accordance with international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, and their additional protocols.
These ongoing zionist crimes against our people and our prisoners in occupation prisons—reflecting the rogue nature of this occupation, which disregards international laws and human values—only strengthen our determination to continue the path of resistance until the occupation is removed from our land and holy sites, and until the establishment of the Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.
