Dr. Aziz Dweik, the Chairman of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was freed from zionist prisons yesterday following over 9 months of detention. Other prisoners stated that Dr. Dweik was severely beaten while imprisoned.

Today, he spoke to the media, speaking of the "massacre in the prisons."

Dr. Dweik stated: "The future holds many great surprises, with a radical change affecting all facets and factions in the region...These coming changes will benefit the region and its people; we are optimistic and awaiting relief from Allah."

"The Palestinian people are at a turning point in the history of mankind and the world, and what is coming will be good for the Palestinians."

"Unprecedented killing, bombing of homes, killing of women, children, and men, indiscriminate bombing, killing tens of thousands of peoples, drone strikes in Jenin and elsewhere: This clearly indicates a state of equilibrium, and there should be punishment for violations of international law...They speak of animal rights while human rights go in vain."

He spoke about how he was deprived of rights and dignity in prisons, especially given his age and health condition.

"What is happening to the prisoners in the prisons is a real massacre where Palestinians are being killed and starved all the time."

"Naqab Prison is worse than Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, where the occupation acts as gangs...Prisoners are killed, their lives go in vain, and they are starved for 24 hours a day. The prisoners are in poor health conditions, suffering from skin diseases, and the food is insufficient even for children, let alone meeting the needs of men."

Dr. Dweik stated that sugar, salt, and fruit are virtually absent in the prisons. He mentions that, for 10 prisoners, they were given exactly 35 green beans to split between them. He mentions that the prisoners are completely removed from the outside world.

"The conditions of the prisoners are heart-wrenching and extremely difficult...The prisoners do not ask the occupation for mercy, which will never happen; this occupation does not respect justice or human rights. The prisoners' message to our people is to save them from this ongoing suffering."

"The occupation deliberately undermines human dignity in every sense of the word, but the will of our people will not be broken."

🚨 The IOF directly opened fire on a vehicle in Al-Bireh, wounding the driver and possibly others, during the IOF's ongoing assault on the city, where over 7 Palestinians have been wounded by IOF bullets.

A fire broke also out in the city as a result of IOF gas bombs.
