🔴 Israeli Occupation Releases Palestinian Political Detainee in Critical Condition

🔴 Genocidal Policies Continue Against Palestinian Detainees

April 28, 2026 

Ramallah, occupied Palestine – Israeli occupation authorities released a 22-year-old Palestinian political prisoner, Ibrahim Jaafar Al-Qadi from Hebron, after 22 months behind bars, in critical health condition, requiring him to be immediately hospitalized, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said Tuesday evening. 

He is now at the Istishari Hospital in Ramallah. The PPS holds Israeli authorities fully responsible for his life.

The PPS explained that Al-Qadi, like other prisoners, was subjected to harsh and tragic detention conditions. Several months ago, his health suddenly deteriorated, and it was later discovered that he had cancer, requiring intensive medical care. As his condition continued to worsen, an emergency Israeli military court session was held today, in which a decision was made to release him. 

The PPS noted that Al-Qadi is one of thousands of sick prisoners in occupation prisons who face physical and psychological destruction within a systemic framework of torture - one of the tools of systematic and ongoing eradication against prisoners.

Images of prisoners and their physical condition after release serve as living testimony to the level of organized crime and the nature of the ongoing destruction inside prisons, alongside hundreds of documented testimonies detailing torture, starvation, denial of medical care, and sexual assaults. More than 100 Palestinian detainees have been killed as a result of these horrific policies, 89 of whom have been identified, while dozens of detainees from Gaza remain forcibly disappeared after their deaths.

The PPS added that the vast majority of released prisoners are immediately transferred to hospitals in the West Bank due to their deteriorating health conditions. Some have been released in extremely critical condition and died shortly afterward, while others have undergone multiple surgeries following their release.

The PPS renewed its call to people around the world to raise their voices against policies of destruction and slow execution faced by Palestinian and Arab prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, and to work to end international complicity and inaction. It warned that continued impunity would lead to an expansion of violations and crimes affecting the entire world.

It is worth noting that, following the genocide, institutions are no longer able to accurately count the number of sick prisoners due to the widespread outbreak of diseases and the ongoing destructive policies within the prison system, including deliberate denial of medical treatment.

The number of political prisoners as of early April exceeded 9,600 people.
