Young Palestinian man dies in Israel’s Megiddo prison
Ahmad Saeed Tazaza’a, a 20-year-old Palestinian who was being detained without trial or charge since May, has died in Israel’s Megiddo prison.
Tazaza’a was from Qabatiya in the Jenin governorate, in the occupied West Bank. The Prisoners’ Media Office said he died under mysterious circumstances earlier today with no clear details available, which, it added, reinforces the conviction that “what happened to him was a full-fledged crime tied to the systematic slow-killing practices pursued by the Israeli prisons administration”.
The monitor said those practices include severe physical and psychological torture, deliberate starvation, medical neglect, and the spread of infectious diseases, adding that Megiddo prison has become a prominent centre for systematic abuse, including against detained minors.
This brings the death toll of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention since the start of the war on Gaza to at least 76 people, most of whom were held in harsh conditions and subjected to systematic torture.
