Palestinian prisoners on alert after new measures adopted by Israel

Palestinian prisoners on alert after new measures adopted by Israel

Ramallah, Jan 23 (Prensa Latina) Tension is growing in the Israeli prisons due to new punitive actions taken by the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) against Palestinian detainees, the Palestinian Prisoners Club warned on Monday.

The entity stressed in a dispatch that the Islamic Jihad militiamen behind bars announced a protest if Zaid Bsisi, one of their leaders, is transferred from Eshel Prison to Gilboa Prison.

A week ago, Adb Obaid, another of the militia’s leaders, was sent to Gilboa jail from Megiddo prison.

Speaking about the same issue, Riyad Al-Ashqar, Director of the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Prisoner Studies, said that the continuous transfers are aimed at weakening the unity of the detainees.

Since early 2023, the IPS moved 220 inmates, although the number may affect some 2,000, Al-Ashqar warned.
