Salwad held a funeral Tuesday for Walid Ahmad, 17, a detained Palestinian youth who died in Megiddo prison from starvation and medical neglect, Shehab Wire reported. The ceremony took place amid calls for accountability against Israeli occupation authorities over the circumstances of his death.
Ahmad's death adds to a growing toll of Palestinians detained by Israel, with rights groups documenting repeated cases of inadequate medical care and insufficient food provisions in Israeli detention facilities.
