Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) on Nostr: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya to his lawyers: "Do everything possible to get me out of this ...
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya to his lawyers: "Do everything possible to get me out of this place."
During another visit at the underground Rakefet detention facility, he reported that he had once again been beaten by prison guards following his previous visit and has since been held alone in solitary confinement. He said his finger was injured and that he was also suffering from a problem with his right eye, yet he was not receiving adequate medical care.
The visit took place under conditions that did not allow for confidential communication: behind an opaque partition, via telephone, while masked prison guards remained within earshot.
Dr. Abu Safiya, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been detained since December 2024 without charge or trial, along with 13 other doctors and dozens of healthcare workers. Despite repeated reports of violence and the denial of adequate medical care, the Israel Prison Service has yet to provide his medical records or allow an independent physician from PHRI to examine him.
We call for Dr. Abu Safiya's immediate release, for his removal from solitary confinement and from the underground detention facility pending his release, to be granted an independent and impartial medical and legal examination, and to receive adequate medical care while his safety and well-being are ensured.
