Ramallah (UNA/WAFA) – The Palestinian Authority's Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported on Sunday afternoon that Israeli occupation authorities have acknowledged the death of prisoner Ihab Muhammad Abdul Qader Diab (36 years old) from the Gaza Strip, who had been detained since December 12, 2023..
The Commission explained in a statement that it received a response from the Israeli Prison Service confirming the death of prisoner Diab. The response stated that he had been suffering from a health condition, a claim his family denied, asserting that he was healthy and did not suffer from any illnesses when he was arrested. It is likely that he died on September 18, 2024..
The commission indicated that with the martyrdom of prisoner Diab, the number of martyrs of the prisoner movement since 1967 rises to 328, including 91 martyrs after October 7, among them 53 from the Gaza Strip..
She stressed the need for immediate intervention by the international community to stop the policy of torture and abuse inside Israeli prisons and detention centers, which has resulted in dozens of executions among prisoners inside Israeli prisons and detention centers, specifically those arrested from the Gaza Strip. We have many testimonies confirming the deaths of detainees under torture, which the occupation authorities have not acknowledged to this day, and they continue their policy of enforced disappearance and immoral and inhumane secrecy..
The Authority conveyed its condolences to the family of the martyr prisoner Diab, and that with his execution the series of deliberate killings against citizens and fighters of our Palestinian people continues, and that it is time to put an end to all this death that snatches the souls of our heroic prisoners.
