Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's life in danger due to torture: Immediate international intervention needed for his release (Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, 2025-01-03)

“Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has received information that Dr. Abu Safiya’s health has deteriorated due to the torture he endured during his detention, … Euro-Med Monitor warns of the grave risk to his life, following patterns of deliberate killings and deaths under torture previously suffered by other doctors and medical staff arrested from Gaza since October 2023.”

“Physicians for Human Rights – Israel (#PHRI) submitted a request on behalf of Dr. Abu Safiya’s family to obtain information and facilitate a lawyer’s visit on 2 January 2024. However, the Israeli authorities claimed to have no record of his detention, stating they had no indication of his arrest.”

Israel confirms it is holding Gaza hospital chief Abu Safiya (BBC, 2025-01-03)

https://bbc.com/news/articles/cj30deeggd7o
———

“Israel has confirmed it is holding Gaza hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiya after earlier telling a local NGO that it was unaware of his case, sparking concern for his well being.”

“The statement did not offer an explanation for the confusion but repeated that he was suspected of being a ‘terrorist’ and for ‘holding a rank’ in Hamas…”

“On Thursday the IDF told Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) that it had ‘no indication of the arrest or detention of the individual in question’"

“Meanwhile Amnesty head Agnès Callamard said Israeli authorities must ‘urgently disclose his whereabouts’".
