Mardawi: The assault on prisoners in Janot prison reveals the criminal mentality of the occupation

Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi stated that the attack by Israeli prison guard units on prisoners in Janot prison exposes "the sadism of the occupation and its criminal mentality," calling for unified national and popular efforts to support the prisoners.

Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi confirmed that the assault carried out by Israeli prison administration units on several sections of Janot prison, which resulted in injuries to a number of prisoners, once again reveals, in his words, "the sadism of the occupation and the criminal mentality of its government." Mardawi said on Thursday that the continuation of policies of repression, abuse, and deprivation against Palestinian prisoners demands a unified national and popular stance to support and aid them, warning of the danger of these practices continuing inside prisons. He stressed that the ongoing attacks on prisoners will not break their will, asserting that the occupation government seeks, through repression and abuse, to break their resolve, but they will remain, in his words, "a symbol of heroism and a model of the Palestinian people's steadfastness and rejection of the occupation." Mardawi held the occupation prison administration fully responsible for the safety of the prisoners, calling on the Palestinian public to unite efforts behind the prisoners' cause and continue supporting them until they gain their freedom.
