Palestinian Red Crescent: The number of released prisoners transferred to hospitals has risen to 7 due to their harsh health condition.
Prisoner Mohammed Brash, from Al-Am'ari refugee camp in Ramallah, who was sentenced to three life terms, is finally free after 23 years in captivity. During his imprisonment in Israeli prisons, he lost his eyesight due to deliberate medical negligence.
Unable to walk: leader and former mayor of Al-Bireh, Sheikh Jamal Al-Tawil (61 years old) was transferred directly from the freed prisoners’ bus to the hospital due to his deteriorating health condition after being brutally beaten by occupation jailers until the last moments before his release.
Like all prisoners, he endured harsh detention conditions, systematic torture, starvation, medical crimes, and brutal treatment, including beatings. He has been subjected to arrest since he was 16 years old. He continued to face administrative detention until today, having spent over 18 years in total.
In 2021, he went on a hunger strike demanding the release of his daughter, Bushra Al-Tawil, who had been detained multiple times, including in administrative detention. Most recently, she was freed this year as part of the first batch of the first phase of the deal.
Freed prisoner Yusuf Al-Tamimi who spend 3 years and a half was released with two injured knees and beaten all over his body: "This is a beating from yesterday during our transfer and inside the prison because the prisoners are being sent home... They deliberately beat us, but not in a way that would cause fractures so it doesn’t show where we were hit. All prisoners were hit and prisoners were subjected to worse than this. They tied our hands and legs, threw us on the ground and hit us."
