<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Sawasya center for human  rights condemned the Israeli measures pursued against Palestinian  prisoners as a systematic torture crime and called for holding Israel  accountable in accordance with international conventions against  torture.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The center said the Israeli prison  administrations deliberately deprive Palestinian detainees of their most  basic rights and flout all international laws and agreements including  Geneva conventions that protect the rights of prisoners.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The center urged the Red Cross to assume  its moral and legal responsibilities towards Palestinian prisoners and  send a committee to investigate their imprisonment conditions in Israeli  jails.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In this regard, Wa&#8217;ed society for  detainees strongly denounced the attempted assassination of a  Palestinian prisoner in Beersheba jail by an Israeli intelligence agent  who was placed among Palestinian detainees to kill some detainees.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The society considered this new method is part of Israel&#8217;s crimes against Palestinian prisoners that escalated lately.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Wa&#8217;ed underlined that the number of  detainees killed directly or indirectly by Israel in its jails since  1967 are estimated at 200 Palestinians, and the number of patients  amounted to 1200 detainees, 30 of them are permanently in Ramle prison  hospital.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">For its part, the Palestinian ministry for  prisoners&#8217; affairs appealed to international human rights organizations  and the Red Cross to form an inquiry committee to investigate the  mysterious death of 52 patients in Israeli jails, especially since the  Israeli prison authority did not declare the real causes of their death.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">This appeal came after the failed  attempted assassination that was carried out by the Shin Bet against  prisoner Haitham Salhiya who is serving several life sentences.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The ministry called for knowing the nature of the drug which was used by an Israel agent to spike the victim&#8217;s drink.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The ministry also said it had warned many  times before of Israeli attempts to kill prisoners, either directly  through opening fire or torture or indirectly through deliberate medical  neglect.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Beersheba prisoners had told the ministry  that a Shin Bet officer instructed an inside agent to spike the target&#8217;s  coffee with a suspicious red pill, the prisoner began experiencing  stroke symptoms after the agent carried out the hit.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Prisoners said the prison administration&#8217;s  medical neglect of the prisoner&#8217;s life implied involvement in a  conspiracy. The agent was removed from the section after admitting his  involvement to prisoners.</p>
