 The Nafha Society for Defending the Rights of the Detainees and Human Rights reported on Tuesday that the Israeli army is currently expanding the Huwwara detention facility near the northern West Bank city of Nablus due to the increasing number of kidnappings carried by the army during the daily invasions and attacks in the West Bank and especially in Nablus area. The Society started that the detainees are not provided with sufficient and decent food, are not allowed to receive clothes from their parents and are repeatedly beaten, abused and confined to solitary. The Society also stated that the Red Cross did not provide the detainees with sufficient essential foods and that they do not have sugar, salt, and tea since ten days, and they have did not have water for two days. The Huwwara detention facility is one of the worst Israeli prisons in the occupied West Bank as the detainees are isolated and subjected to different sorts of torture and humiliation. One of the lawyers of the society visited detainees Mohammad Bisharat, Raef Al Akir, and Mohammad Shatat, and was unable to visit any other detainees since the administration initially refused to allow him into the facility and threatened to arrest him. The Nafha Society voiced an appeal to the International Red Cross and international Human Rights groups to intervene and practice pressure on the Israeli authorities to stop their illegal acts that violate the Fourth Geneva Conventions and the basic principles of human rights.Translated by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC |
