The Committee for Supporting Liberated and Detained Syrian Prisoners in the Israeli Jails on Tuesday called on the UN and its organizations to shoulder its responsibilities regarding the oppression and torture carried out by the Israeli occupation against Syrian detainees in solitary imprisonment.

In a statement, the Committee beseeched the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to intervene and assume its humanitarian role regarding Syrian detainees in Israeli prison, calling on it to visit these captives – particularly Sedki al-Maqt – and inspect their health and living conditions.

The Committee denounced the barbaric practices of the Israeli occupation authorities against detainees, saying that these practices aim at killing them.

It also lauded the steadfastness of Syrian and Arab detainees in Israeli jails, noting that captives have begun their 23td day of hunger strike and that their lives are now in danger.
