Al-Jazeera correspondent reported that the Israeli Ofer Military Court decided today, Sunday, to postpone its decision in the case of Palestinian prisoner Sheikh Bassam Al-Saadi to next Wednesday, while the Palestinian prisoners decided to escalate their protests against the Israeli prison administration.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club (non-governmental) said - in a brief statement - that the Israeli military court of Ofer extended the detention of the leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Bassam Al-Saadi, until August 31.
Early this month, the Israeli army arrested al-Saadi, 61, during a massive incursion into Jenin refugee camp (in the northern occupied West Bank), and extended his detention several times.
Al-Saadi's name was mentioned in the Gaza ceasefire agreement signed earlier this month, which ended 3 days of Israeli escalation against the Islamic Jihad movement.
At that time, Jihad spokesman Daoud Shehab revealed to Anatolia that the agreement with Israel on a ceasefire was brokered by Egypt, after Cairo promised to work for the release of the two prisoners, Khalil Awawda and Bassam Al-Saadi.
In a related context, the Palestinian prisoners in the prisons of the Israeli occupation began on Sunday implementing the step of dissolving the regulatory bodies;
In an attempt to pressure the prison administration to achieve their demands.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club said that the prison administration will be forced from today to confront the prisoners individually and not in organizations, as part of the struggle steps that the prisoners recently resumed, rejecting the prison administration's attempt to repudiate the understandings that were made last March.
According to the Prisoner's Club, these steps will end with a hunger strike early next month, with the participation of 1,000 prisoners, if the prison administration does not respond to their demands.
