AMMAN – The
Palestinian Prisoners' Club stated on Saturday that the Jordanian prisoner, Ammar Murad Al-Huwaitat,
detained in Israeli prisons, has suffered severe injuries in the upper parts of
his body, including rib fractures and an injury that caused inflammation in his
hand, as well as loss of consciousness after being physically assaulted by
Israeli forces.

According to Al-Mamlaka TV, lawyer Nadia
Dakka mentioned that the prisoner Huwaitat was transferred from Ofer prison to
solitary confinement in Salim prison before being assaulted on November 16th by
15 guards in Megiddo prison.
Dakka explained that there is uncertainty
about the fate of prisoners in Israeli prisons in general and the case of
Huwaitat in particular.
Israeli authorities continue to intensify
their measures and increase harassment towards prisoners since October 7. They persist
in the policy of delaying and procrastination, preventing prisoners from
meeting their lawyers, disclosing their medical reports, and delaying the
transfer of injured prisoners to hospitals for necessary medical care.
The Prisoners' Club reported that
Al-Huwaitat was transferred to the hospital after suffering from his injuries
for 12 days and when his health condition began to deteriorate. This
contradicts the fundamental and unconditional rights that prisoners should
enjoy in prisons, particularly at a time when serious violations against
prisoners, including torture leading to death, physical and psychological
abuse, are escalating.
Huwaitat has been detained since 2002,
serving a life sentence plus 20 years. He is the youngest organizational
representative of prisoners and a representative of Fatah in the
National Emergency Committee of the Prisoners' Movement. Since his arrest, he has been
moved between several Israeli detention facilities and prisons.
