Israeli Prisons Authority Starts Collective Isolation of Leaders of the Palestinian Detainees Movement
The Authority of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club said that the occupation prisons administration, on Sunday morning, began transferring 120 prisoners, with high sentences and leaders of the captive movement, from “Nafha” prison, to a collective isolation section that it set up specifically for prisoners whom it classifies as “security dangerous”.
The authority and the club clarified that this transfer process comes within the framework of the continuous aggression against the prisoners, and the prison administration’s attempt to harm the organizational structures, as well as strike any stability that the prisoner tries to create in the context of confronting the abuses they are subjected to, as well as to confront the policies and procedures of the prison administration.
The authority and the club indicated that this transfer targeted the same prisoners who were transferred at the beginning of this year from Hadarim prison to Nafha prison.
In a joint statement, the authority and the club pointed out that the mass transfers come within the framework of a systematic policy, which the prison administration sought, specifically in light of the state of unified confrontation that the prisoners are trying to establish, to repel the aggression sought by the fascist occupation government led by the fascist minister "Ben Ghafir". This transfer also comes shortly after the visit carried out by Ben Gvir to the Negev and Ofer prisons.
It is noteworthy that "Ofer" prison, which is the only prison built on the lands occupied in 1967, and for the first time since the signing of the Oslo Accords, prisoners with high sentences and life sentences, and the leaders of the captive movement are being held.
The committee and the club said that the Israeli extreme right-wing government led by Benjamin Netanyahu and the membership of "Ben Gvir" and others like him know with certainty that harming prisoners in Israeli prisons will lead to an explosion and escalation of the state of confrontation in prisons.
The committee and the club called for the broadest popular and official line-up, and not to leave the prisoners alone in this battle, which will not be limited to prisons.
