Chilling Human Rights Violations at Negev Tent Prison.
Please do not publish my name in order to protect my friends from more torture.
I have just been made aware of the conditions at the Negev Prison. And they are horrific.
1) Medical treatment is being denied to all prisoners. Only those on deaths door are taken for treatment. Many men have severe burns (I'll describe the fire later), infected bullet wounds, broken bones, pneumonia, and malnutrition. Aspirin (the only med dispensed) is the catchall cure for all the men's maladies. Organizations must act quickly to save and care for the sick and wounded patients in the Negev detention camp. No surgeries or proper medication are given to them. They are facing a slow death as a result of this blatant neglect.
2) There are presently about 1,280 prisoners at the Negev Tent Prison. The men are help in barbwire cages, 60 per sector, and 20 per 6x6 meter non-waterproof tent. They sleep on wooden planks with one blanket per man. The temperature plummets to zero or just above at night. The men are suffering because of the cold, especially as some have little or no clothing and let be noted that they are in the same clothes they were arrested in. In terms of sanitation there is a hole in the ground and this dug up only once every 2 months so the stench is horrific. The cages as I said before are open to the elements and snakes and scorpions often crawl into the common areas. During the heat of the day, flies swarm all over the men. They have to keep moving to avoid the flies and at night mosquitoes torture the men. There is also no electricity.
3) The prisoners live on inhuman food rations they get peas and rice, rice and peas and peas and rice. They are given moldy, many times frozen bread and every 4th day lukewarm tea.
4) There are no basic supplies or items for personal hygiene. There is a spout for a shower but it only has ice-cold water. There are no paper or pens. The men are not allowed to receive clothes or gifts from family.
5) If they are seen to move out of the tents, the soldiers have been ordered to point their rifles, with their fingers on the trigger, ready to shoot. In addition, the guards inside are all armed, which is in direct contravention of the law.
6) All the men in the Negev desert prison are held for indefinite periods of time without charges or trial. Many times the men are told they are to be released but then at the hearing they renew the sentence for 6 more months, on grounds ?that are a threat to the nation. Now remember there are no charges and no evidence to make such a charge. The prisoners' lawyers are often barred from seeing them and since the prison is on a military base all Human Rights Groups, Family and Media are barred from the prison.
7) Many men have been tortured. All are systematically beaten.
8) On October 24th at 8:30 am 3 men were told they must come with the IDF guards because they were accused of trying to escape. The other prisons knew this was false and all that the guards were going to do was torture the prisoners, so they refused to leave the cage. A scuffle ensued and the guards lobbed tear gas and percussion grenades into all the prison sectors. In several sectors the percussion grenades started fires and in one sector the winds whipped up the fire so furiously the men were in danger of being engulfed. The 60 men desperately used wooden planks to break their way into the next sector to escape the fire. They succeeded but it took quite a while and many men were badly burned. The guards also shot rubber bullets into the men-s cages and several men took deep hits because the shots were taken at close range. In all 33 people were wounded and no one got care. Even more disgusting was that the men housed in the badly burned section were left to sleep on the remains of the charred tent with no blankets and no tent covering for 15 days.
There must be immediate action. These men are suffering terribly and many are in danger of dying. International laws are being broken. Someone must have the power to at least give these men humane conditions. I have contacted Amnesty and Human Rights Watch hopefully someone can help.
