23:30 Palestinian inmates at the notorious Israeli prison Ofer in the occupied West Bank told rights lawyers that Israeli prison guards at the Ofer jail beat renowned Gazan orthopaedic surgeon Adnan Al-Bursh to death in May, according to rights lawyers who spoke to the British satellite Sky News on Friday.
Human rights lawyer Nadia Daqqa, who works at the Israel-based rights organization HaMoked, told Sky News that depositions obtained from Ofer prisoner revealed Al-Bursh was tortured before his death.
"The prison guards assaulted him and threw him in the middle of the yard and left him there. Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh was unable to stand up. One of the prisoners helped him and accompanied him to one of the rooms. A few minutes later, prisoners were heard screaming from the room they went into, declaring Adnan Al-Bursh dead, according to the deposition.
"Adnan Al-Bursh was not the first case of a person who was beaten and died in that prison since this war started. Before him, there were many, many cases," said Daqqa.
The Israeli authorities announced his death at the time without providing a cause of death nor returning his body to the family.
The Israeli Prison Service denied in a statement to Sky News its responsibility for Al-Bursh's death, stressing the "professionalism" of its prison guards.
