20 guards beat him to death.. Testimony of a freed prisoner reveals circumstances of the assassination of Adnan al-Barsh
The testimony of a freed prisoner reveals details of the torture of Dr. Adnan al-Barsh to death inside the Israeli Ofer prison, involving 20 guards, in a deliberate assassination crime according to the source.
The testimony of a freed prisoner from Israeli occupation prisons reveals the horrific assaults suffered by Dr. Adnan al-Barsh, head of the orthopedic department at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, before his martyrdom inside Ofer prison. Journalist and freed prisoner Islam Hijazi, quoting prisoner A.Kh., reports that 20 guards assaulted al-Barsh immediately upon his arrival at Ofer prison, beating him violently with shoes, kicks, electric shocks, and sharp tools for over half an hour, focusing on sensitive areas. He indicated that the guards told him 'We were waiting for you' before the assault began. After his voice fell silent, they threw him in the yard of Section 23, where he died hours later, with the guards refusing to bring a doctor. Hijazi considers this a deliberate assassination, noting that this crime has been repeated inside Israeli prisons. Al-Barsh was arrested on December 19, 2023, while working at Al-Awda Hospital, and his family announced his martyrdom on April 24, 2024, with his body still being held.
