On 20 April 2025, Palestinian prisoner Nasser Khalil Radaideh, 49, from al-Ubaidiya in the Bethlehem governorate of the West Bank of occupied Palestine, was martyred in the “Israeli” Hadassah hospital after being transferred from Ofer prison earlier in the day. He has been imprisoned by the occupation since 18 September 2023, when he was shot by occupation forces.
When he was originally detained by occupation forces, he was held at the Shaare Tzedek hospital in occupied Jerusalem; after his condition stabilized, he was transferred with his fellow Palestinian prisoners. However, after 19 months of medical neglect and mistreatment, as part of an intentional policy of “slow killing” applied to the Palestinian prisoners, he died in an occupation hospital, kept from his family and loved ones, on Sunday evening. He is married and the father of seven children.
The martyrdom of Nasser Radaideh comes only four days after that of Musaab Adili, a 20-year-old Palestinian prisoner who died on 16 April 2025 and whose martyrdom was announced on Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, 17 April. Adili was scheduled to be released only three days later after serving one year and one month in occupation jails.
Since 7 October 2023, at least 65 Palestinian prisoners have been martyred in Zionist prisons, including at least 40 from Gaza, with over 302 martyrs of the prisoners’ movement since 1967. The list (below) is not complete, as it does not include all Palestinian prisoners from Gaza, for whom the occupation continues to hide the numbers, names and current situation of the thousands of people its genocidal forces have abducted amid the ongoing assault on the Strip. The occupation continues to imprison 74 bodies of the martyred prisoners, holding them hostage in an attempt to extract an advantage in prisoner exchanges with the Palestinian resistance.
The martyrdom of Palestinian prisoners is an assassination campaign inside the occupation prisons and detention camps, through institutionalized physical and psychological torture and beatings, starvation, sexual assault, the spread of contagious disease, particularly scabies, and deliberate denial of medical care, in parallel with the ongoing escalated genocide in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine. These war crimes and crimes against humanity are accompanied by the denial of family and legal visits, preventing any external surveillance of the mistreatment suffered by imprisoned Palestinians.
Every dollar, Euro and pound exchanged with the occupation, every weapon given to the genocidal forces, and every intelligence-sharing and police-training mission between the Zionist project and the imperialist powers, especially the US, Canada, France, Germany, Britain and EU countries, are evidence of full complicity in the ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity, against the Palestinian prisoners and the Palestinian people as a whole.
We urge all Palestinians in exile and diaspora; Arab liberation movements; and international advocates for justice and liberation in Palestine to take action, to take to the streets and undertake direct actions on 22 April, the global strike for Gaza, and 25 April, the global day of action to besiege the embassies of the US and the Zionist regime. As Abnaa el-Balad noted in the call to action to free Raja Eghbarieh, “Defending the freedom of those who struggle against this genocide is an integral part of this vital world-wide struggle.”
