The General Director of the International Relations Association in the Palestinian Prisoners Society, Raed Amer, discussed the crimes and murders the Israeli occupation commits against Palestinian prisoners, the latest being the execution of five freed prisoners in the Netzarim Axis, in an exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen.
Amer affirmed that the detained Palestinians were "living through the worst phase in the prisoner movement's history while being subjected to forced starvation and torture daily."
"Israel" has detained at least 9,580 Palestinians, not counting those abducted and arrested from the Gaza Strip, according to Amer, who added that 55 Palestinians were arrested from the West Bank on Sunday night.

The story of martyr Rami Abu Mustafa
A few days ago, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS), announced that Rami Abu Mustafa (45) of Khan Younis was martyred after being victim to the Israeli occupation forces' deliberate crime, only a short while after he was freed from Israeli prisons. It is worth noting that Abu Mustafa was shot and arrested by the IOF.
The Commission and PPS revealed that martyr Abu Mustafa had gone missing on June 9, with no information about his whereabouts or his fate, until June 25, when the Israeli occupation delivered him to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Palestinian medical teams then transferred him to the European Hospital in Gaza, without knowing his identity.
His family then said that their son suffered from neurological issues due to a brain injury sustained in an incident when he was younger, and described his state when they found him after he was released. Reportedly, Abu Mustafa had several bullet wounds on his body, lost his sight, and showed clear physical signs of torture.
After his family was able to reach him, he was transferred to al-Nasser Medical Complex, where it was found that parts of his organs were cut out of his body. He was released and stayed with his family for two days before his health rapidly deteriorated until he passed away.
Rami Abu Mustafa, an individual with mental disabilities, was arrested for several months from the city of Khan Younis. He was released by the Israeli forces having lost his eyesight, experienced brain hemorrhages, as well as having his spleen and colon removed against his will. pic.twitter.com/Xgaen0HN46
