WEST BANK (Dispatches) – Heavy rainwater has flooded Palestinian prisoners’ cells in the Huwwara Detention Center located in the occupied West Bank, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)’s Committee for Prisoners and Freed Prisoners reported.
Rainwater flooded a number of the prisoners’ cells, Al-Mugtama Magazine reported, stating that the clothes of the prisoners and their blankets, mattresses and other personal properties were submerged in water.
The lawyer of the PLO committee, who visited the prisoners, said that the prisoners suffered from extreme cold conditions inside the prison.
The lawyer also confirmed that there are no windows in the cells, that water drains are blocked and that there are insect infestations.
According to the committee, the Zionist regime’s Huwwara Detention Center is the worst among all prisons run by the regime, pointing to the maltreatment and lack of basic needs of the prisoners.
Palestinian prisoners inside this detention center have called on the International Committee of the Red Cross to urgently visit them in order to reveal to the world the regime’s crimes against Palestinian prisoners.
