Mahmoud Issa Sheikh Jamal Abu El Haija
Solitary confinement experiences ...
*Mahmoud Issa / 3 sentences on lifetime + 49 years and
*Sheikh Jamal Abu El Haija / 9 sentences on lifetime
At Ramleh, Mahmoud was held with Jamal Abu El Haija, in a cell measuring
3.5 x 3 meters, with very little ventilation and only one window
measuring 80 x30 centimeters above the door and overlooking the
corridor. The iron door had only one opening through which meals were
delivered and again closed immediately afterwards. Mahmoud stayed
isolated under these conditions 23 hours a day, and was allowed to leave
his cell only for one hour to go to the 4.30 x 3.30 meter prison yard,
half of which was covered by iron and four layers of barbed wired, steel
bars, and iron rods. In the prison yard there were no recreation
facilities for the inmates, and they remained handcuffed until they
returned to their cell. Mahmoud did not meet other detainees there apart
from Abu El Haija. Communication between cells was forbidden.
