The Gaza Ministry of Detainees has condemned the death of a Hamas leader, Mustafa Muhammad Abu Ara, in Israeli custody, saying it was a result of torture and deliberate medical negligence.
The ministry said on Friday in a statement that Israeli authorities have subjected Palestinian detainees to inhumane conditions and systematic assault.
Describing it as an ugly, slow death, the ministry pointed out that this is something unnoticed by international organizations.
Hamas reacted as well, saying it was another Israeli assassination through deliberate medical neglect.
