An Israeli guard is accused of beating a Palestinian prisoner with sticks. The man was seriously injured and later found dead in his cell. The police are now investigating.
According to her own statement, she has already questioned 19 prison guards. According to media reports, the 38-year-old West Bank prisoner was beaten with sticks and seriously injured in his cell a month ago. Later he was even found dead. An autopsy yielded no clear results.
The prisoner is said to have been a member of the Fatah organization of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. According to a report in the Israel Hayom newspaper, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for attempted murder.
Six prisoners died
At least six Palestinian prisoners are said to have died in Israeli prisons since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip. The prison authority confirmed it is investigating four cases. According to the military, around 2,420 Palestinians were arrested in the West Bank alone following the Hamas massacre. About 1,210 people are members of the Islamist Hamas, the report said.
The human rights organization Amnesty International expressed its concerns. She demands that reports of alleged “mass disappearances” of Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip be investigated.
Minister of Police: “Human scum”
The right-wing extremist Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir will probably be less concerned. “We must remember that our guards are dealing with human scum and murderers who pose a security risk,” he said. Guards should not be judged too quickly.
