Ahmad was released in February 2024 after spending 110 days in prison for organizing a peaceful protest against the war on Gaza. He was arrested on 19 October and charged with “incitement to terrorism” and “identifying with a terrorist organization.”

A report published on 6 August human rights organization B’Tselem titled ‘Welcome to Hell’ contains testimonies from 55 Palestinians which collectively point to a “systematic and institutional policy of abuse and torture of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.”

The report lists at least 60 cases of death of Palestinian prisoners since the start of the genocidal war, including 48 Gazan prisoners who died at army detention facilities and 12 who died in Prison Service custody.
