Hamas calls on international community to protect Palestinian prisoners

Hamas has condemned the torture of Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli prisons and called on the international community “to stop the terrible violations they are subjected to by the extremist Zionist junta”, Al Jazeera reports.

The Palestinian group said most recently, Moataz Abu Zneid from Dora, south of Hebron, was killed due to “torture and brutal measures”.

“They are ongoing war crimes, a violation of all international laws on prisoners,” it said. “We also call on international human rights institutions to highlight the suffering of our families in prisons, raise their voices, and put pressure in all forums to release them.”
