Summarize and humanize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in EnglishAn alleged Hamas-supporting Channel migrant was beaten up in prison while awaiting trial for entering the UK illegally.Palestinian national Abu Wadee, 33, is said to have suffered injuries to his face and body when he was set upon by two fellow inmates at the Dovegate category-B prison in Staffordshire.He appeared at Canterbury Crown Court this week for a bail application sporting what looked to be an injury to his left eye.A spokesman for Serco, which runs the men’s prison near Uttoxeter, confirmed to MailOnline that a pair of inmates were responsible and had been disciplined.He said: ‘I can confirm that following an assault on another prisoner, two prisoners were identified as the perpetrators and were subsequently placed on report.’They were both dealt with via the internal adjudication system in line with normal procedure, and both had proven charges for assault.’The injuries were not severe enough to require Wadee – also known as Mosab Abdulkarim al-Gassas – to go to hospital.His lawyer, Audrey Mogan, told judge Her Honour Sarah Counsell this week that her client had been hurt while in prison. Abu Wadee, 33, was held by Immigration Enforcement officers on suspicion of entering the UK illegally Wadee’s social media is replete with pictures of him posing with a Kalashnikov, an artillery shell and a menacing posse of masked men HMP Dovegate near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, where Wadee was attacked by two inmatesSpeaking during an unsuccessful application to have Wadee released on bail, Ms Mogan said: ‘Mr Al-Gassas suffered quite serious injuries in HMP Dovegate, and he is still suffering from injuries to his eye and his body, because individuals entered his cell when he was in Dovegate.’He is due to return to court next month after his legal team called on prosecutors to drop the case against Wadee. He previously appeared before magistrates where he entered a not-guilty plea to one charge of entering the UK without valid clearance, although he has not yet been asked to plead in the crown court. No details were provided about any possible motive for the attack.But he represents the latest in a series of attacks on high-profile prisoners.This includes Urfan Sharif, who is serving a life sentence for torturing and murdering his ten-year-old daughter, Sara, and was slashed with the jagged lid of a tuna tin by two inmates.And Linton Weirich, who filmed himself having sex with a married prison officer, suffered head injuries after he was reportedly attacked while holding a baby during a family visit.It is alleged Wadee was one of around 75 migrants on a cramped inflatable boat intercepted by Border Force on March 6 this year. Wadee can be seen in this image posing with slingshot for hurling rocks The Campaign Against Antisemitism claims to have identified Wadee as a member of a Hamas-endorsed unit involved in serious violence on the Gaza-Israel border who wants to ‘die for the sake of Allah’ But the defence say Wadee, who previously called for ‘death to all Jews’, was not one of those in charge.The court heard Wadee arrived in the UK last month having left Palestine in June 2022.He travelled first to Turkey, before heading to Greece by boat less than three months later.He stayed in Greece for one year before travelling on to Belgium, Germany and France, making failed asylum applications as he went.Prosecutor Harriet Palfreman said: ‘The defendant has shown disregard to laws by entering this country without valid entry clearance.’The chronology of countries he has been through in the last three years suggests he has an understanding of the immigration system.’She said Wadee has ‘no ties’ to the UK, whether familial or financial.The court heard Wadee live streamed his arrival in the UK to his social media followers, and had a significant online presence which she said included ‘various extreme views’ about the Jewish community. Analysts allege to have identified Wadee in a video from 2017 in which he took the microphone at a rally, apparently held in Gaza Wadee, seen posing in front of a fire on the Israel-Gaza border, is considered a ‘threat to public safety’ according to CAA She said his release on bail presented a ‘clear threat to the Jewish community’ as well as to his own safety from ‘vigilante groups’.Defence counsel Ms Mogan said the Crown should reconsider its decision to prosecute her client, given he was ‘not alleged to have been someone who had his hand on the tiller’ inside the dinghy.She said he has no previous convictions, and had not previously come to the UK and then removed.Defence counsel Ms Mogan said the Crown should reconsider its decision to prosecute her client, given he was ‘not alleged to have been someone who had his hand on the tiller’ inside the dinghy.She said: ‘These are the aggravating factors in CPS guidance when deciding whether to prosecute – none of those factors apply here.’Unless someone has had their hand on the tiller, it is unlikely someone simply sat on the boat is charged. Mr al-Gassas said there were about 75 sat in the boat.’Refusing bail, Her Honour Judge Sarah Counsell said she would not take into consideration media coverage of Wadee’s alleged support for extremist groups.But she said that ‘even with an address provided by the Home Office and a GPS tagged curfew, reporting to two of the authorities, it is not sufficient to allay my concerns’ about him either absconding or failing to surrender.The Home Office’s own guidelines effectively prevent people being sent back to war-ravaged Gaza, raising concerns Wadee will be allowed to stay in Britain.Wadee charted his journey across Europe to his 170,000 TikTok followers, with some videos being viewed more than 2.5 million times.He also uploaded a video of himself and others on a dinghy in the Channel being approached by a Border Force boat, with the caption: ‘Thank God, we arrived in Britain.’But his account on the social media platform was taken down and listed as ‘banned’ after an investigation unearthed his extremist history.It included images of him brandishing assault rifles, and another in which he appeared to hold a tear-gas canister in his mouth during apparent clashes at the border with Israel.At a previous magistrates court hearing last month, prosecutors described how Wadee had shared ‘significant hate speech calling for the death of Jews’ as well as ‘support for Hamas’ and ‘pictures of him with various military weapons’.
