'After 7 October oppression increased’ says Palestinian prisoner exiled to Egypt https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/0db3bc46-fca3-4bee-8313-9cd82b286cfa “Prison is prison, it’s oppression, it’s humiliation, it’s deprivation, where there is the abuse of freedom. But all these things increased after 7 October.” Released Palestinian prisoners who have been exiled to Egypt recounted to Middle East Eye the abuse and torture they faced inside Israeli prisons, and how it intensified after 7 October. They were freed in exchange for Israeli hostages held in Gaza, but instead of returning home, they were among 154 Palestinian ex-prisoners exiled to Egypt, where they are confined to a hotel and kept under tight surveillance. All of them had been sentenced by Israeli military courts to life imprisonment on charges including murder and membership of Palestinian groups banned by Israel. Support stories that matter.
