Leader in Hamas Abd al-Rahman Shadid: The use of the image of the prisoner in the Zionist prisons, the leader Ibrahim Hamed, during field interrogations constitutes an intimidating practice targeting prisoners, their families and our entire Palestinian people, with the aim of pressure and intimidation, and also constitutes a new threat message within the occupation’s repressive and retaliatory policy against prisoners.

Leader in Hamas Abd al-Rahman Shadid:

▪The use of the image of the prisoner in the Zionist prisons, the leader Ibrahim Hamed, during field interrogations constitutes an intimidating practice targeting prisoners, their families and our entire Palestinian people, with the aim of pressure and intimidation, and also constitutes a new threat message within the occupation’s repressive and retaliatory policy against prisoners.

▪We warn of the danger threatening the life of the prisoner leader Hamed in light of the continued isolation and the threats he is facing, and we hold the criminal occupation and the prison service fully responsible for his life and safety and for any harm that may be inflicted on him.

▪These terrorist practices will not undermine the resolve of our heroic prisoners nor of our people’s sons, and we stress that the freedom of the prisoners is a national priority.

▪We call on the international community to pressure to end the tragedy experienced by the prisoners, and to work to pursue the criminal occupation leaders and hold them accountable for their violations against our people and our land.
