The clashes culminated in the abduction of the Palestinian boy Rani al-Rajabi after he fell unconscious as a result of the violent beating he had been made to endure by the occupation soldiers.
A report issued on Tuesday by the Prisoners’ and Ex-Prisoners’ Commission sounded the alarm over the violent beating Palestinian prisoner Wael al-Natsha had been made to endure in the Israeli Ramon lock-up.
The Prisoners’ Commission said the detainee was aggressively beaten by Israel’s Nahshon suppressive units during an inter-prison transfer on Monday to move 70 detainees from Ramon to Nafha jail.
Al-Natsha refused to be searched and to have his hands and feet cuffed during the transfer process, before he had been heavily beaten and struck all over his body, particularly in the face, by Israeli forces.
The detainee has not received any kind of medical treatment and is still locked up in an isolated cell in Nafha prison, where the Israeli prison authorities have kept his hand tied over his head since the early morning hours.
Al-Natsha has also been brought before a prison court on Tuesday on allegations of assaulting an Israeli officer while in jail.
The commission said Palestinian inmates held in Ramon prison vowed to step up protests moves in response to Israel’s suppressive measures, exhausting inter-prison transfers, and harsh torture of Palestinians behind prison bars.

Israel’s magistrate court in Haifa city decided to defer issuing a verdict on a request filed by the defense of Sheikh Ra’ed Salah asking it to reconsider his detention until the end of legal proceedings.
According to his lawyer Khaled Zabarqa, the magistrate court fixed next Tuesday, March 6, as a date to study the request.
“The file pertaining to the detention of Sheikh Salah is not based on proper legal procedures as the public prosecution is stalling over presenting witnesses to the court, who were absent from a previous hearing,” Zabarqa told Quds Press on Monday.
“The court listened to the request filed by the defense team of Sheikh Salah, which asserted the need for his release, even if this could happen under restricted conditions and lead to his house arrest in his city, Umm al-Fahm,” the lawyer stated.
“We affirmed, during the hearing, the systematic procrastination used by the prosecution in order to prolong the detention of Sheikh Salah as well as the legal proceedings of the file, and we has stressed the Israeli prosecution’s attempt to hide a great deal of the investigation material, not to mention its reluctance to present witnesses in this case,” he added.
