After the storming of "Ofer" .. a Palestinian gift in support of the prisoners

Atef Douglas - Nablus

Hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in front of the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

At the Martyrs' Square in the center of Nablus in the West Bank, the demonstrators who raised the Palestinian flag and pictures of the prisoners "between death and life, Abu Diak, O God" and "Abu Diak, my people .. in a serious and difficult situation," in reference to the suffering of the prisoner and the difficulty of his health , As they shouted to refuse to break into Ofer "prisoners of Ofer, courageous Anto stronger than the jailer."

Abu Diak, who has been in detention for 16 years, suffers from several diseases, but the most serious is the cancer of the intestines which he suffered - according to his family - due to the policy of medical negligence practiced by the occupation authorities inside prisons.

Ragheb Abu Diak, a relative of the prisoner, said that Sami's health condition had deteriorated seriously recently, as his body was no longer "responsive to treatment and became immune", adding that this development prevented his family from visiting him recently.

Hospital "Slaughterhouse"
Abu Diak, who runs the Palestinian Prisoner Club in Jenin, says that the Israeli occupation forces torture Sami in Ramle prison hospital.

He explained to Al-Jazeera Net that 16 prisoners in the "slaughterhouse" of Ramle face full disability and are threatened with death at all times, while more than 150 prisoners suffer from chronic diseases and 1500 others suffer poor health conditions and suffer various diseases.

The policy of medical negligence, which "escalated" in 2018, according to a statement by the Prisoner Club, is not only to provide appropriate treatment, but also by deliberately making medical mistakes and bringing in unqualified and unskilled doctors to care for prisoners who "confine" even during treatment and lack of a suitable treatment environment.

Abu Diak transfers testimonies of prisoners with the department confirming that they have been blackmailed and neglected in Ramle prison hospital in order to obtain confessions.

Like Abu Diak, hundreds of prisoners in Ofer prison have been subjected to another reprisal by Israeli jailers two days ago, when heavily armed soldiers stormed various sections of the prison and wounded more than 100 prisoners.

"Corpses Deferred"
The head of the National Committee for the support of prisoners in the city of Muzaffar Zoukan says that the occupation considers the prisoners as "dead bodies for burial," and prepares for the systematic execution of "inhuman" actions with them.

The break-in is one of the worst that the prisoners face. It comes suddenly and is accompanied by an attack and the confiscation of the property of the prisoners under the pretext of searching for "prohibitions" such as communication equipment and others.

Toukan is a clear violation of the agreements concluded between the prisoners and the prison service under which the prisoners are searched and counted daily.

Zoukan adds to Al-Jazeera Net that the occupation aims through the invasion to "drag" the lives of the prisoners and to inform them that they are "hostages" in the hands of the jailer and under his eyes.

He asserts that they directly assault the prisoners during the incursion by firing at them (rubber bullets) and throwing them with poison gas, beating them with batons, isolating them individually and in groups, and depriving them of the visit if they show any resistance.

Not only did the Palestinians have solidarity with the prisoners in the public areas, but the platforms of social communication in various phrases were a victory for them, especially the liberated prisoners who summed up their experience with their colleagues in families and the effects that support them.

"When the prison directorate decides to repress a section of a prison, it practically decides to make you die and hope for it," wrote prisoner Ismat Mansour on his page. "The gas hoses are suffocated and pumped into the cell."

The inaction of the world
On the official level, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the incursion of the occupation prisons, and considered that this is a translation of plans and decisions of racist occupation boasted previously by the Minister of Internal Security Gilad Arad.

In a statement published by local media, the ministry blamed the Israeli government for the full and direct responsibility for the crimes and violations committed "amid the failure of the international community and international organizations".

Before the people left their fields and shouted around, they shouted, "Part of a section, a sergeant, we are bursting like a volcano", signaling the non-retreat and escalation against the occupation and its ongoing violations.
