Police reveal that 19 prison guards have been questioned in connection to the suspected fatal beating of a security prisoner last month.
A statement from police says investigators questioned the guards over a suspected “violent incident” at a prison in southern Israel, and that the guards have seen been released from custody under conditions.
According to Hebrew media reports, several of the officers are suspected of entering Tair Abu Asab’s cell at Ketziot Prison him and beating him, hours before the Prison Service announced his death on November 19.
The service said at the time that the circumstances of his death were being investigated.
Abu Asab, a member of the Fatah movement, had been jailed since 2005 on charges of attempted murder relating to a terror attack.
