Palestinian Prisoners Share Their Stories
Palestinian prisoners, released as part of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, spoke out about the abuse and torture they faced in Israeli prisons. They described inhumane conditions, including overcrowded cells, lack of proper clothing, and physical abuse from guards.
Celebrations in the West Bank
The release of the prisoners was met with celebrations in the West Bank, where hundreds of people gathered to welcome the freed individuals with cheers, applause, and slogans praising Hamas. The atmosphere was filled with emotion as the released prisoners recounted their experiences of suffering while in Israeli captivity.
Revelation of Oppression
One of the former prisoners, Bara Fukaha, described the prison as a 'living graveyard' where they were kept in cells for up to 23 hours a day, with inadequate clothing and harsh living conditions. Another freed prisoner, Hanan Malawan, highlighted the psychological torture of being uncertain about their release date, and the fear instilled by the guards.
