Walid Khalid Ahmad
Walid Khalid Ahmad was a 17-year-old Palestinian boy who died in Israeli custody on March 22, 2024, reportedly due to prolonged malnutrition. His death marked a tragic milestone as he became the first minor to die in Israeli custody since the onset of the conflict between Hamas and Israel in October 2023. Ahmad was arrested in September 2023 in his hometown of Silwad, facing allegations related to protests, which his family vehemently denied. The Palestinian Prisoners' Society claimed that he was not formally charged and highlighted his death as indicative of the severe treatment faced by detainees, particularly minors, in Israeli prisons. Ahmad's case has sparked outrage and calls for accountability regarding the treatment of Palestinian detainees.
