PA libel: Palestinian prisoners are “suffering from various types of torture... and receiving barbaric and cruel treatment” by Israel

Headline: “Ashrawi: Israel bears the legal and moral responsibility for prisoner Abu Wa’er’s death as a Martyr” 

 

“PLO Executive Committee member [and head of the PLO Department of Diplomacy and Public Policy] Hanan Ashrawi said that the death as a Martyr of cancer patient prisoner Kamal Abu Wa’er (i.e., terrorist, involved in the murder of at least 4 people) as a result of deliberate medical negligence [by Israel] (sic., see note below) is proof of the severity of the situation in the occupation’s (i.e., Israel’s) prisons, the severity of the conditions of the Israeli detention centers, the various types of torture from which the prisoners are suffering, and the fact that they are receiving barbaric and cruel treatment from those responsible for the prisons. 

In a statement, Ashrawi emphasized yesterday evening, Tuesday [Nov. 10, 2020], that Abu Wa’er’s death as a Martyr is an additional crime in Israel’s record, which is full of crimes and deliberate violations of international law and human rights.”
