Ramallah - Saba:
The Palestinian Prisoners and Liberators Affairs Authority revealed that detainees in Zionist enemy prisons began a new suffering with the arrival of the winter season, and the beginning of the weather depressions accompanied by thunderstorms and severe cold, especially with the presence of most prisons in desert areas such as the Negev prison, which is characterized by very low temperatures.
In a statement today, Wednesday, the Authority said that the suffering of detainees is doubled in these climates, especially the sick and the elderly, in light of the occupation's prohibition to bring heating means, winter clothes and blankets to the detainees' wards, and preventing families from bringing the simplest winter needs to their children, as part of the policy of collective punishment and suffocating them since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza Strip.
It called on international human rights and humanitarian organizations to intervene to provide winter needs for the detainees, visit the prisons, see the tragic situation that worsens with the entry of winter, and pressure the occupation to introduce heating supplies, as stipulated and guaranteed by humanitarian conventions and international treaties.
