Mahajneh stated that the detainees eat while handcuffed and each detainee has one meal throughout the day, which consists of 100 grams of bread, a cucumber or tomato, and a very small amount of milk.

He said that the bathroom is exposed inside the detainee’s rooms, in addition to the presence of surveillance cameras inside the rooms focusing on the bathrooms, while the duration of showering is still limited to one minute only.

Mahajna, quoting the detainees, pointed out that Ofer detention center includes two torture wards inside the rooms, and the detainees cannot be seen during their torture, but only their screams can be heard. Recently, the occupation soldiers assaulted all the detainees in Ofer, causing many of them to have their limbs broken.

Lawyer Mahajna quoted one of the detainees, who was transferred from the “Sde Teman” camp to “Ofer”, as saying that one of the sick detainees was killed after the occupation soldiers refused to provide him with the necessary treatment.
