"Released Palestinian journalist suffers severe brain hemorrhage following months of Israeli prison abuse —— The Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) and the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate issued warnings on Wednesday regarding the critical medical condition of journalist Mujahid Bani Mufleh, whose health collapsed following his release from Israeli custody. The 36-year-old father of three from Beita, south of Nablus, suffered a severe brain hemorrhage that required emergency neurosurgery at the Istishari Hospital in Ramallah. The medical crisis struck the freelance reporter shortly after he completed a grueling multi-month stint under administrative detention—a controversial Israeli legal mechanism used to hold Palestinians indefinitely without formal charges or trial based on "secret files." Local syndicates explicitly held the Israeli prison administration responsible for Bani Mufleh's life-threatening condition. They pointed to a systematic regime of deliberate medical neglect, severe starvation, and physical torture designed to break the health of detained media personnel. Human rights organizations emphasized that Bani Mufleh’s critical state is not an isolated incident but rather reflective of the harrowing conditions facing thousands of Palestinians inside the Israeli prison network. In a poignant testimony released through the PPS, Bani Mufleh described his ordeal as a phase of utter helplessness where simple daily movements became monumental tasks, noting that the experience forever altered his understanding of basic survival and human dignity." - Source
