Israel continues violations against prisoners

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Israeli prison authority persists in violating the rights of more than 6,500 Palestinian prisoners in its jails, a Palestinian human rights center said Thursday.

The prisoners’ center for studies said that the Palestinian prisoners’ difficult detention conditions as they are denied access to basic human needs and exposed to severe punitive measures, including solitary confinement and administrative detention.

The center added the prisoners always complain of food quality and quantity in Israeli jails, overnight search raids, strip search, mass transfers, and medical neglect, especially against those with health problems.

According to the center, the Israeli prison authority responds to incitement statements made against the Palestinian prisoners by Israeli politicians, like the ones made previously by foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman and former homeland security minister Tzachi Hanegbi.
