Captive Awab Ahmed Mubarak, 20-year-old, has been and still is subjected to physical and psychological torture in the Israeli interrogation centers, Tadamun Foundation said. The researcher at the foundation, Ahmad al-Beitawi, said on Saturday that Awab has been subjected to continuous interrogation for 20 hours per day, adding that he was forced to offer prayers while tied to a chair.
The foundation's lawyer Mohammed Abed visited Mubarak three times during the past two weeks. Abed quoted Mubarak as saying that he was subjected to severe beating during his arrest on August 4, 2013, in addition to verbal and physical insults during interrogation.
He pointed out that the captive was exposed to cold air for long hours before being held in a hot cell causing him sharp bone and joint pains.
The Israeli interrogators have also threatened him of arresting his father, a deputy in the Palestinian Legislative Council, and claimed that the lawyers refused to defend him because of his difficult issue.
Al-Beitawi pointed out that the Israeli interrogators used to fabricate such lies in order to undermine the prisoner's spirits. In one such incident, they claimed that his family was subjected to a car accident, he added.
The researcher affirmed that Awab's health condition has dramatically deteriorated where he lost more than 7 Kg of his weight in less than two weeks.
The Israeli interrogators' questions mainly focused on the funeral of Awab's brother who died in America two months before Awab’s detention during an armed robbery.
Awab, a student at the Faculty of Law at Abu Dis University in Jerusalem, is supposed to stand trial in Ofer Court on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Israeli authorities prevented on Saturday some prisoners detained in Jalama detention center from meeting with their lawyers.
The Israeli intelligence service deliberately prevent the prisoners from meeting with their lawyers during the interrogation period in order to extract forced confessions, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said.
Preventing the prisoners from meeting their lawyers violates the international laws particularly the III and IV. Geneva Conventions, the PPS added.
The human rights center stressed that the Israeli judiciary gave a legal cover to the Shin Bet and Israeli intelligence's violations to the international laws.

The general prosecution submitted to the Magistrate court on Friday an indictment against 19-year old Ahmad Daoud Obeid that included charges of throwing stones at Israeli forces.
The judge extended the arrest of Ahmad Obeid until the 15th of September, 2013 when the so-called “conduct officer” releases his report to discuss the possibility to release him with a bail and house arrest.
Ahmad is mute and suffers from a mental disability and despite his terrible psychological and medical conditions, the judge refused to release him knowing that the Musta’ribeen unit arrested him last Tuesday and assaulted and severely beat him which left him with wounds and bruises; he was then transferred to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital for treatment.
Abu Ahmad expressed his worries about his son’s condition because he doesn’t know what the prison, investigation and police are like. During the court sessions, Ahmad tries to get away from the guards surrounding him to get to his family.
Abu Ahmad pointed out that he submitted to the judge all the documents that explain his son’s psychological and medical conditions but she ignored them and agreed to extend his arrest; he also showed her pictures of Israeli forces assaulting him while he was being arrested.
He added that his son Ahmad was transferred to a mental hospital in Der Yassin and the doctors called him to get some information regarding his son’s situation but they refused to provide him with any information regarding the status of his son.
Mohammad Mahmoud, Al-Dameer organization lawyer, intends to appeal the duration of detaining his client Ahmad, especially that he suffers from terrible psychological and medical conditions.

MK Ibrahim Abu Sarsour, head of the United Arab List, condemned the Israeli occupation authority’s decision to bar him from visiting Palestinian captive, Dirar Abu Sisi for the third time. He said that such behaviour on the part of the occupation authorities is an attempt to hide the condition of captive Abu Sisi who has been in solitary confinement since his kidnapping from the Ukraine in February 2011. In a statement on Friday, MK Sarsour said: "In the framework of following up the captive's files, I visited Abu Sisi more than once.
During those visits I saw the deterioration in his health due medical neglect and isolation in bad conditions. I was surprised lately that I was barred from visiting him."
“When I asked the minister of Internal Security about this, he replied that a high level decision was taken to bar me from visiting the captive for reasons relating to the national security of Israel.
“ I believe that the reason for barring is more to do with hiding physical condition of the captive which has deteriorated according to his family and lawyer.
“Captive Abu Sisi suffers from a stomach ulcer, asthma, kidney problems, hypertension, spine problems and migraine.”
Abu Sisi has just ended a hunger strike after he was promised to be moved out of isolation in Eishel to high security Balshmore section, where he will be able to meet other captives.
