Israeli Citizen Poisoned in Medellin Prison Following Months of Antisemitic Abuse

Eitan Langer, an Israeli national currently incarcerated in a local prison in Medellin, was reportedly poisoned this week in what appears to be a targeted attack. The incident is the latest and most life-threatening in a series of violent, antisemitic encounters Langer has endured during his months-long imprisonment.

The Poisoning Incident

According to direct testimonies, the incident occurred shortly before a local Chabad emissary arrived at the prison to deliver a care package to Langer. Immediately following his lunch, Langer was summoned to sign delivery documents.

Within minutes, Langer began to experience severe dizziness, blurred vision, and extreme lethargy, classic symptoms of drug-induced poisoning. In his disoriented state, he was allegedly coerced into signing for a package that was not his.

Reports indicate that the original package provided by the Chabad Rabbi was intercepted and stolen, and even the secondary package Langer signed for was eventually seized from him.

A Pattern of Targeted Violence

Langer is currently the only Jewish inmate in the facility, a fact that has made him a frequent target for hate crimes and systematic abuse.

Sources close to the case describe a harrowing environment where Langer has faced:

Despite these escalating events, the security situation for the Israeli citizen remains dire, with concerns that the poisoning represents a lethal escalation.

The situation has reached a boiling point just as a potential legal breakthrough nears. Langer is scheduled to appear before a judge in approximately one month for a hearing that could result in his release to house arrest.

However, advocates and family members warn that without immediate intervention, he may not survive the wait. "There is a grave and immediate concern for his well-being until that court date," a source stated. The recent poisoning incident suggests that the threats against his life are escalating as his potential release approaches.

Call for Action

Advocates for Langer are calling on the international community, human rights organizations, and the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs to intervene immediately to ensure his safety and medical recovery.
