A Palestinian human rights organization said today, Saturday, that Israel has isolated 19 Palestinians in "extremely harsh conditions" in the Negev prison, calling on the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit them.

At the same time, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) warned of the repercussions of the continued strike of Palestinian prisoners in the occupation prisons, in order to reject their administrative detention.

And the (non-governmental) Addameer Prisoner Care and Human Rights Foundation quoted - in a statement - the prisoner, Nabil Mughayer (one of the isolated prisoners), as saying that they "suffer from extremely cruel and degrading conditions, in light of collective punishments that amount to torture," according to the Anadolu Agency.

He added that he and his colleagues "entered Section 6 of the prison, stripped of their personal needs, in cells unfit for human use, about 10 days after the section was burned."

According to the foundation, on the eighth of last September, the prisoners of the "Islamic Jihad Movement" faced a decision to vacate their sections, including Section 6, in the Negev Prison, to disperse them in prisons, which prompted them to burn it at the time.

Mugheer added that "each of the two prisoners was placed in an empty room with charred walls and floors," noting that the prisoners had no clothes, mattresses, or blankets. "The prison administration brings a mattress and a blanket for each prisoner after midnight and pulls them out before sunrise."

He stated that the prisoners do not go out together to rest in the prison yard, but rather "each prisoners go out separately, handcuffed, and for only one hour," adding that "the prison administration accuses them of being responsible for burning their oath."

In addition to the isolated prisoners in Section 6, 5 other prisoners are in isolation cells in the same prison.

The Foundation says that the five prisoners are accused of being linked to the escape of 6 prisoners (who were re-arrested) from Gilboa Prison (North), on the sixth of last September.

It quoted the prisoner Tamim Salem (one of the five prisoners) as saying that they live in "difficult conditions, as the prisoners remain handcuffed and feet bound when they go out to the furah (rest)."

The "Islamic Jihad" prisoners, to which 5 of the re-arrested escaped prisoners belong, are subjected to "strict repressive measures", according to the same source.

The Foundation also called on the "Red Cross to visit the prisoners, see their conditions, and put pressure by all possible means to lift the collective punishments that degrade their dignity and detract from their humanity."

Badran: The occupation uses the unjust policy of administrative detention as a sword on the Palestinian people (Palestinian press)

Hamas warns

Today, Saturday, Hamas warned of the repercussions of the continued strike of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, in order to reject their administrative detention.

The German news agency quoted a member of the movement's political bureau, Hossam Badran, as saying in a press statement that the Hamas leadership informed Egyptian officials that "the continuation of the prisoners' hunger strike and the intransigence of the occupation may lead the whole region to unimaginable consequences."

Badran said, "The Hamas leadership has contacted many parties, the last of which is the brothers in Egypt, and a serious discussion was held with them about these prisoners on hunger strike."

He added that "the occupation uses the unjust policy of administrative detention as a sword shed on the Palestinian people in the West Bank in particular, while the prisoners resort to hunger strikes in order to stop this criminal policy."

This comes at a time when the PLO Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission said that 6 Palestinian prisoners are continuing their open hunger strike in Israeli prisons, in refusal to administratively detain them.

The authority stated that the oldest of the striking prisoners is Kayed Phosphos, who has been on hunger strike for 86 days, warning that he may suffer a sudden health setback if his brain or nervous system is harmed, and this may cause him paralysis or expose him to a heart attack, and he has lost 30 kilograms of weight. .

The Commission warned that the rest of the striking prisoners suffer from difficult health conditions, aches throughout the body, a significant loss of weight, the amount of salt and fluids in the body, and severe fatigue and exhaustion.

According to official Palestinian statistics, the number of prisoners due to administrative detention has reached about 520, out of a total of about 4,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
