RAMALLAH, July 2, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) stated that administrative detainee Mohammad Naseem Abu Al-Ezz, 19, from Jericho—who has been held since February of last year—was repeatedly subjected to torture and severe beatings in the Negev Desert prison, which led to his loss of mobility.

In a statement issued today, the PPS explained that over the past period, Abu Al-Ezz experienced a rapid deterioration in his health due to the continuous abuse he endured. His condition worsened to the point where he could no longer meet his basic needs, necessitating his transfer to a hospital. There, he underwent a delicate back surgery at Soroka Medical Center.

He was later transferred to what is known as the "Ramla Prison Clinic," where he is now suffering from a physical disability affecting the lower part of his body.

The PPS clarified that Abu Al-Ezz had no prior health issues before his detention and is now another victim of the systematic torture practices imposed on prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention camps. '

These practices are carried out by the Israeli prison system through continuous and organized methods, tools, and procedures.

Torture has been a central cause of the deaths of dozens of prisoners and detainees in Israeli prisons and camps since the beginning of the ongoing genocide.
