A Recent report released by the PA ministry for the affairs of the prisoners and ex-prisoners disclosed that 98% of the Palestinian prisoners incarcerated in Israeli jails were subjected to physical and psychological torture rounds at the hands of the cruel Israeli interrogators.

The report showed that the imprisonment conditions of about 8,400 Palestinian captives languishing in the Israeli jails were turning from bad to worse as the Israeli prisons authority was depriving them of the simplest human rights.

It underlined that 99% of those internees were harshly cudgeled by the Israeli jailers, 88% were forced to sit in awkward postures, and 68% were forcibly lodged in refrigerators for several hours.

Some 69 Palestinian captives have been martyred since 1967 up to date, because of the bestial Israeli chastisement exercised against them, according to the report.

It explained that the prisons authority was now escalating inhuman and humiliating practices against the Palestinian prisoners, flying in the face of the international resolutions dealing with the prisoners' rights.

Meanwhile, the IOF on Sunday arrested a wounded Palestinian youth to the north entrance of Ramallah and escorted him to an unknown destination, local sources said.

The sources said that the Israeli forces arrested the youth who suffered gunshot wounds after those forces fired at him while driving his vehicle, causing it to veer off the track.

On the other hand, an Israeli military court based in occupied Jerusalem renewed the detention of a Palestinian young girl from Al-Jalazon refugee camp for six days.

The unidentified girl was accused by the Israel authorities of attempting to stab an Israeli policeman in Jerusalem old quarters.

In a related development, the Israeli troops at dawn Sunday advanced into Janata town east of Bethlehem and rounded up two Palestinian residents.

Locals said that the two were identified as Ibrahim Al-Kamel, deputy mayor of Janata locality, and his brother Kamel.

The forces launched home-to-home search campaigns, rampaging through the civilian houses, according to the locals.

In the meantime, the gathering institution for Palestinian rights denounced the mortifying and inhuman practices the Israeli prisons authority was exercising against the Palestinian captives.

The legal institution pleaded with the international community to heap pressures on the Israeli occupation authorities to stop their savage acts practiced against those helpless captives.
