Al Mayadeen correspondent reported Wednesday that an Israeli occupation parole committee has classified the case of the Palestinian prisoner Ahmad Manasra as "terrorism".

Our correspondent indicated that this decision prevents the early release of Manasra despite the deterioration of his mental health.

Manasra's defense team described the decision as “legally and constitutionally flawed”, slamming it as a “gross violation of the legal and constitutional bases of the local and international legal system, particularly the legal system pertaining to minors.”

The defense team explained that the decision means that the prisoner's case will not be transferred to a committee to reduce one-third of the sentence imposed on Manasra for allegedly stabbing a settler in Al-Quds in 2015.

Manasra's defense team indicated that the prisoner's lawyer, Khaled Al-Zabarqa, confirmed that during his visit to the prisoner on June 16, he did not communicate with Manasra, adding that he noticed traces of wounds on his left arm up to the wrist, as well as on his right arm.

The team made it clear that it would work on an appeal against the illegal Israeli decision.

Last week, Manasra's defense team announced that "the Israeli occupation prisons authority has transferred Manasra to Ramle Prison hospital due to the deterioration of his mental health condition."

It is noteworthy that  Manasra was only 13 years old when the Israeli occupation arrested him for false accusations. He has been in solitary confinement since early November 2021.

He has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, suffers from psychotic delusions, and is severely depressed with suicidal thoughts.

On June 20, human rights organization Amnesty International called the Israeli occupation for the immediate release of the 20-year-old prisoner.

“Ahmad Manasra has been subjected to a catalogue of injustices by the Israeli authorities, including deleterious effects of incarceration on his development and prolonged solitary confinement. He endured ill-treatment during interrogations, which were conducted without his parents or lawyers’ presence, and was denied the right to a fair trial," underlined Heba Morayef, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa.

Today is the re-trial of Ahmad Manasra.

Ahmad was only 13 when he was imprisoned and tortured by the Israeli authorities.

“Pending his release from detention, he must be given access to adequate medical care and never be placed in solitary confinement again. Allegations of torture and other human rights violations that Ahmad has suffered must be effectively and transparently investigated," stressed Morayef.
