Israeli prison admin. imposes punitive measures against detainees
The Prisoners' Club reported that since yesterday, the occupation prison administration had imposed "punitive measures" against the detainees, which consisted of closing sections in all prisons, withdrawing the limited number of television sets available to detainees, increasing jamming devices, stopping visits to the detainees' families, and informing lawyers of the cancellation of visits made to them.
The Prisoner's Club added, in a statement on Sunday, that the occupation also decided, pursuant to a military order, to increase the period of extending the detention of detainees from 96 hours to 8 days, and to prevent all detainees from meeting with a lawyer during the first four days of detention.
Yesterday, the repressive forces stormed the detention section of the “Damoun” prison, using poisonous gas, cutting off their electricity, and isolating the prison representative, Marah Bakir, and transferring her - according to available information - to the “Jalmatt” prison. In light of this, the female detainees decided to take protest steps, namely: Return meals, refusing the so-called "count" procedure.
It is worth mentioning that the number of detainees in the occupation prisons is more than 5,250, including 39 female detainees, 170 children, and more than 1,300 administrative detainees.
