Commission of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs
Prisoners, many of whom are wounded, in Israeli jails are suffering from extremely worrying health conditions and their numbers are increasing due to the continued systematic medical violations they are subjected to by the occupation authorities, the Commission of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs said in a report on Wednesday.
The report mentioned mentioned the case of Osman Abu Kharj, 48, from Al-Zababdeh, Jenin, whose condition deteriorated recently and he underwent cardiac catheterization. He has long heart problems and inflammation of the liver due to a contaminated needle used by one of his doctors in jail. Abu Kharj is still in need of serious medical attention. He suffers from epilepsy, high blood sugar and pressure, but Ashkelon detention center is only able to provide him with palliatives.
While the prisoner Na’im Al-Assa from the town of Obeidiya in Bethlehem is in harsh conditions in the Negev detention center, where he has suffered from stomach problems since 2010 due to the abuse he received during his interrogation. He recently underwent medical examinations confirming a rupture in his stomach lining and acute inflammation of the colon but the Negev administration only provided him with painkillers.
The prison administration continues to neglect the health condition of prisoner Bashar Shawana from the town of Silat al-Harthiya, west of Jenin, who suffers from hemorrhoids and permanent bleeding. He is in dire need of surgery but it has been long delayed.
The report also examined the case of female prisoner, Hilwa Hamamra, 26, from the town of Husan in Bethlehem, whose health has recently deteriorated. She complained of severe pain in her abdomen. She went to the detainee’s clinic more than once, but the doctor only gave her an anesthetic cream without any diagnosis or proper treatment.
Hamamra was later transferred to the hospital and found she had an infection which caused her severe pain. It is noteworthy that she was arrested on 18/11/2015 after being shot and seriously injured by the Israeli army. She underwent several surgical operations during which part of the liver, pancreas, spleen and intestines were removed and still needed medical follow-up.

Palestinian Detainee Dies In Solitary Confinement In Nitzan Israeli Prison
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) has reported, Tuesday, that a Palestinian detainee from Beit Fajjar town, south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, died in solitary confinement in Nitzan Israeli Prison.
The PPS said the detainee, Nassar Majed Taqatqa, 31, was taken prison by Israeli soldiers on June 19 2019, and has been under interrogation since then. This was his first arrest by the army.
It also denied allegations by the Israel Prison Authority about his death and confirmed that the Palestinian did not have any preexisting health conditions.
The PPS held Israel fully responsible for his death, especially while under interrogation, as Palestinian detainees are frequently physically and psychologically tortured, in addition to the very bad living conditions they face, and the lack of medical treatment.
The PPS stated that the death of Taqatqa brings the number of detainees, who were killed or died in Israeli prisons since 1967, to 220.
The International Red Cross sent its condolences to the family and stated that although it does not take part in investigation committees or autopsy, it will be following the case closely with the Israeli authorities and the family.
It added that it is following the detainee’s death with great concern and advised refraining from publishing sensitive information for the privacy of the family.
In a statement, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) called for an immediate and impartial investigation into Taqatqa’s death while in solitary confinement in Nitzan (al-Ramla) Prison.
It quoted his family stating that the detainee did not have any health issues and was a completely healthy young man when he was taken prisoner.
The PCHR said:
According to human rights organizations’ reports followed up by PCHR’s field workers, Israeli forces arrested Taqatqa on 19 June 2019 after raiding his house in Beit Fajjar and taking him to al-Jalamah Center for investigation.
On 09 July 2019, the Israeli forces again raided and searched his family house while he was in prison. Two weeks after his arrest, the Israeli authorities sent Taqatqa to solitary confinement in “Nitzan” Prison (al-Ramla) in Israel to continue investigating with him.
Lawyer Raji Sourani, PCHR’s Director, commented on that by saying, “Israel has a black record of priors, which proves Israeli security services’ involvement in torture, inhuman treatment, and deliberate medical negligence against dozens of prisoners as part of an Israeli systematic policy and under legal cover.
Taqatqa, as said, did not have any health issues prior to his arrest, so his death during investigation raises suspicions, which urge opening an investigation into possible occurrence of torture and medical negligence.”
Taqatqa’s family said that this was his first arrest, and they knew about his death via media. Thus, they contacted the lawyer of the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Committee to confirm this news.
PCHR emphasizes that living conditions of around 5800 Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails continue to deteriorate; 700 of them who suffer chronic diseases and do not receive the adequate healthcare. PCHR also holds the Israeli government fully responsible for the death of Taqatqa and calls for a prompt and impartial investigation into the death circumstances.
