Hamas: Palestinian detainee endured 'torture,' 'medical neglect'

Hamas has issued a statement accusing Israel of "torture" and "mistreatment" of Khaled Abdullah, a Palestinian detainee who died in Israeli custody.

The group said that Israel's "brutality" and "policy of medical neglect" of detainees results in the "slow death of prisoners".

“We warn against the continuation of this criminal policy… and renew our call to all free people of the world, human rights and legal organisations to pressure the occupation and hold it accountable for its crimes against our people," the statement reads.
