Prisoner, Muhammad Al-Ardah, subjected to harsh practices in his isolation
The prisoner Muhammad Al-Arda, one of the heroes of the “Freedom Snatching” operation from Gilboa, is subjected to very harsh practices in his isolation in Rimon Prison.
Sources told Al-Mayadeen TV that the prison administration seeks to isolate him from everything around him, by depriving him of visits, as he is transferred during the visit time, or the family is prevented from visiting him, claiming that they are prohibited by security.
It also confirmed that the prison administration “prevents a casual prisoner from writing and confiscates all his belongings, including pens and papers, to prevent him from writing any message, and conducts a thorough search on an almost daily basis in his cell.”
The sources indicated that he is prohibited from mixing with any other prisoner, and added that the prisoner submitted a complaint to the prison administration, but he did not receive any response.
The Mohjat al-Quds Foundation had revealed that the isolated prisoner, Al-Ardah, is being threatened with death by Israeli criminal prisoners, which poses a real threat to his life.
It is noteworthy that, on September 6, the prisoner Al-Ardah succeeded, accompanied by the prisoners Ayham Kummaji, Mahmoud Al-Ardah, Munadel Anfiat, Yaqoub Qadri, and Zakaria Al-Zubaidi, in wresting their freedom through a tunnel from Gilboa prison.
On the 10th of the same month, the occupation forces re-arrested the prisoner Mahmoud Al-Ardah, accompanied by the prisoner Yaqoub Qadri, in the occupied city of Nazareth.
On the next day, the occupation forces re-arrested him, along with the prisoner Zakariya Al-Zubaidi. At the dawn of the 19th of last September, the occupation forces re-arrested Ayham Kummaji and Nadal Enfe’at, after besieging a house in which they were holed up, east of Jenin.
It is worth noting that the prisoner, Muhammad al-Ardah, is from the town of Arraba in the Jenin governorate, in the northern occupied West Bank. The occupation forces arrested him on May 16, 2002. The occupation court issued a life sentence against him 3 times in addition to 20 years, on charges of belonging and membership in the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, and participation in resistance operations against the Israeli occupation forces.
