In a visit conducted by one of the lawyers of the PPS, the detainees said that their conditions never improved in spite of promises by the Israeli Prison Administration, and that the detainees are subjected to ongoing violations including barring them from leaving their rooms, placing them in solitary confinement, and are not even allowed to communicate with each other.

The detainees added that on Wednesday they were surprised to see sufficient food of a good quality, in addition to vegetables which they usually never see, but then they found out that a representative of the Red Cross was visiting the facility.

The detainees stated that their suffering is ongoing, and that they are subjected to collective punishment, and are placed in tiny dark cells.

It is worth mentioning that there are several detainees in Azion who are sick and deprived from their medication rights.

Detainee Jeries Entas, from Bethlehem, have a sort of bacteria in his blood and is suffering from pain in his left leg.

Another detainee, Faidy Shabana, from Hebron, is suffering from a slipped disc, detainee Saddam Awad from Ramallah is suffering from a neurological condition, and detainee Yousef Al Natsha, from Bethlehem, is suffering from a slipped disc, blood pressure and diabetes.

Moreover, one of the lawyers of the PPS visited several detainees in Salem detention facility, near Nablus.

The detainees stated that their rooms are small, the water is undrinkable, and the food is insufficient, and that they are deprived from their visitation rights.
