The Palestinian Human Rights Organizations Council has urged the Red Cross to visit Israeli prisons to investigate the deaths of two Palestinian detainees.
In a letter, the council emphasised the need for the Red Cross to head to Megiddo and Ofer prisons, where two Palestinian men died in separate incidents this week.
The council urged the Red Cross to help “end all forms of arbitrary, retaliatory, and collective punishment imposed against Palestinian political prisoners”.
Arafat Hamdan, 25, from Beit Sira in the occupied West Bank died on Tuesday at Ofer, an Israeli military prison.
Detained on Sunday, Hamdan was the father of an 18-month-old girl. His wife is pregnant with their second child, the Palestinian Prisoners Society said.
A day earlier, Omar Daraghmeh, 58, died at Megiddo.
