The ministry added, „According to Dr. Abu Safiya‘s statement to the center‘s lawyer, he lost about 15 kilograms, suffers from an enlarged heart muscle, and was not presented to a specialist doctor or provided with treatment, despite his repeated requests to the prison administration to do so.
At the beginning of Dr. Abu Safiya‘s detention and during his transfer from the Gaza Strip, he was forced to take off his clothes, his hands were tied, and he sat on sharp pebbles for about 5 hours.
He was subjected to electric shocks and chest beatings. He also stayed in the occupation‘s cells for 25 days in Ofer Prison, including 10 days during which he was subjected to almost continuous interrogation, and fainted in the cell due to feeling suffocated, stressing that he is a doctor who only provides treatment to patients and the wounded, in addition to his position as director of Kamal Adwan Hospital.
