Gaza – Ma’an – Israel is torturing Ahmad Sa’dat, the secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in prison, the group said on Wednesday.

In a statement the PFLP said the "Israeli prison service keeps transferring Sa’adat from one jail to another, under dire conditions in light of his bad health condition. He has been suffering pains in his back and stomach in Israel’s custody as a result of bad conditions in detention."

Israel seized Sa’dat from a Palestinian Authority (PA) prison in Jericho in 2006. He was held in PA custody after he was accused by Israel of arranging the assassination of Israeli tourism minister Rehavam Ze’evi in 2001. In 2008 he was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
