An Israeli court has heard that a Palestinian prisoner from the West
Bank was found dead in his prison cell a few days after having been
beaten by prison guards.

According to this article he died because he was being beatened for mouthing off to the guards. Not due to torture.

In a press statement on Wednesday, the Palestinian Commission for
Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs said, “all the evidence and
testimony” related to the sudden death of Abdul-Rahman Marei “conclusively prove that he was tortured by the Israeli prison guards
on November 7.” This subsequently led to his death on November 13.

“The last conclusive evidence of this crime was the confession of the Israeli occupation’s representative in the Hadera Court during a
session held today, in the presence of a legal team from the
commission,” the statement added.

The commission explained that an Israeli government representative
recounted that Marei, from the town of Salfit, “was severely beaten
and assaulted by a large group of jailers after he quarreled with one
of them,” reports the WAFA news agency.

Marei was denied the necessary medical treatment, and only examined by
a “clinic”, which indicated “severe injuries to his face and the upper part of his body, especially the abdomen, and a defect in the lungs,”
the report continues.

He was reportedly transferred to a solitary confinement cell as he was suffering from bleeding, the representative said, noting that “he died
on November 13.”

The representative disclosed that Marei was not provided with any
treatment and was not medically examined again until the day of his
death, despite the clinic knowing “that beating him caused a lung disorder,” the report added.

The commission said Israeli authorities will re-examine Marei’s body, adding that the initial forensic doctor’s report did not clearly
determine the cause of death.

A final report will be issued on the cause of death, and a session has
been scheduled for January 25, the report continues.

At least six Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli prisons in an
ongoing Israeli campaign, coinciding with the Israeli aggression on
Gaza since October 7, reports WAFA.

In a statement issued on January 15, the Commission and the
Palestinian Prisoners Society, reported that the total number of
Palestinians arrested in the West Bank since October 7, has increased
to 5930.
