Palestinian surgeon 'assaulted' before death in Israeli prison, says eyewitness
Nov 15, 2024
“He had clearly been assaulted with injuries around his body. He was naked in the lower part of his body. The prison guard threw him in the middle of the yard and left him there.” Sky News has reported new details about the events leading up to the death of Palestinian surgeon Dr Adnan al-Bursh, based on testimony from an inmate at the Israeli prison where he died.
During the Israeli military’s siege of al-Shifa Hospital, Bursh was detained and eventually taken to Ofer Prison, where he was reportedly beaten and tortured to the extent that he could not go to the bathroom unaided.
His death was quietly announced, with the Israeli military denying any responsibility. In a statement, the Israel Prison Service also denied any involvement in the doctor’s death.
