The health of PFLP prisoner leader Ahmed Sa’adat has critically deteriorated in “Megiddo” prison. He is being held in extreme isolation and due to torture and deliberate medical neglect his health is failing.
The 72-year-old PFLP Secretary-General suffered severe weight loss after being beaten and denied treatment.
The Office of Prisoners’ Information and the PFLP held the occupation fully responsible, calling it a deliberate zionist crime and systematic targeting of Palestinian leaders.
Below we publish the PFLP communqiue about the situation.
—
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine holds the zionist occupation and its fascist government fully responsible for the life of the Secretary-General, Comrade Leader Ahmed Sa’adat, who is facing extremely dangerous health and humanitarian conditions inside the isolation cells in Megiddo Prison.
The deliberate policy of abuse to which Comrade Leader Abu Ghassan is subjected is a full-fledged crime planned by a criminal occupation machine that knows no humanity.
The continuation of this policy of isolation, medical neglect, and abuse constitutes a direct and systematic targeting of Comrade Leader Sa’adat as a political leader and a great national symbol.
The Front affirms that the issue of liberating Comrade Leader Ahmed Sa’adat and all female and male prisoners in the occupation’s prisons is at the core of the confrontation battle waged by the resistance against the zionist occupation, and that it, along with the resistance factions, will continue the struggle tirelessly until all prisoners are liberated.
The Front also calls on all popular, political, and diplomatic forces to intensify their efforts and provide continuous support for the prisoners’ cause, and to pressure the occupation to stop its crimes and violations against the prisoner movement.
The will of the struggling leader Ahmed Sa’adat will remain strong, and his spirit stronger than all attempts by the occupation to break his resolve, for neither the whips of the executioners nor the policy of oppression can break his steadfast national will.
