A 14-year-old Palestinian prisoner who was released on Tuesday (28) from an Israeli prison recounted his experience as a detainee when the October 7 attacks occurred.
“On the first day (of the war), we heard women being beaten, there was repression and violence,” Ahmad Slaimah told journalists about that day.
Ahmad said that prisoners received two meals a day and that this food was “not enough” and that many “slept hungry”. He criticized poor communication between prison staff and inmates.
According to data collected by CNN from the Palestinian Prisoners Society and the Israeli prison authority, the Israel Prison Service, Ahmad was detained, but was never convicted of a crime.
The boy’s father, Nayef Slaimah, told journalists he was grateful for his son’s release after losing contact with him after October 7, when Hamas invaded Israel.
“When Ahmad was in prison, we couldn’t visit him,” his father said.
CNN contacted the Israeli Prison Service about Ahmad’s allegations.
