Announcing the martyrdom of wounded prisoner Nasser Khalil Radaideh from Bethlehem in the occupation's prisons.

4/20/2025
Ramallah - The Civil Affairs Authority, the Commission of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs, and the Palestinian Prisoners Club reported the martyrdom of prisoner Nasser Khalil Radaideh (49 years old) from the town of Al-Ubeidiya, in the "Israeli" Hadassah Hospital after he was transferred yesterday from Ofer Prison. He had been detained since September 18, 2023, after being injured by bullets fired by the occupation army at the time. He is still detained, adding him to the list of martyrs of the prisoner movement, who have risen as a result of the organized criminality practiced by the Israeli occupation prison system in an unprecedented manner since the beginning of the ongoing genocide.
The organizations said that Radaideh is the second martyr among the prisoners whose martyrdom was announced in the occupation prisons within four days. He is married and the father of seven children. He had stayed in Shaare Tzedek Hospital for a period after his arrest and severe injury, but his health condition had stabilized at the time, according to the information available to the institutions, and according to the visits that took place to him at the time.
With the martyrdom of the prisoner Radaideh, the number of martyrs among the prisoners and detainees since the genocide has risen to (65) martyrs, and they are the only ones whose identities are known in light of the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance, among them at least (40) from Gaza, so that this stage in the history of the prisoner movement and our people is the bloodiest, and thus the number of martyrs of the prisoner movement whose identities are known since 1967 has reached (302) to this day, while the number of martyr prisoners whose bodies are being held has reached (74), among them (63) since the genocide.
The Commission and the Club stressed that the increasing number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees will take a more dangerous turn as more time passes for the detention of thousands of prisoners and detainees in the occupation’s prisons, and as they continue to be exposed to systematic crimes, most notably torture, starvation, assaults of all kinds, medical crimes, sexual assaults, and the deliberate imposition of conditions that lead to their infection with serious and contagious diseases, most notably scabies, in addition to the unprecedented level of policies of deprivation and destruction.
The Commission and the Club added that the martyrdom of detainee Radaideh constitutes a new crime in the record of the brutal Israeli system, which has practiced all forms of crimes aimed at killing prisoners. These crimes constitute another aspect of the ongoing genocide.
The Commission and the Club held the occupation fully responsible for the martyrdom of detainee Radaideh, and renewed their demand for the international human rights system to move forward in taking effective decisions to hold the occupation leaders accountable for the war crimes they continue to commit against our people, and to impose sanctions on the occupation that would place it in a state of clear international isolation, and restore to the human rights system its fundamental role for which it was created, and put an end to the terrifying state of impotence that it has been afflicted with during the war of extermination, and end the state of exceptional immunity that the world has granted to the occupying state as it is above accountability, responsibility and punishment.
