The Prisoners and Former Prisoners Affairs Committee and the Palestinian Prisoners Society, including prisoners from all factions, stated in a joint press release that the detainees took this position last night after a long meeting with IPS officials.

After the beginning of the Tuesday Strike, the IPS had isolated or transferred Ammar Mardi, who represents the government’s Fatah movement; Salama al-Qatawi, from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas); and Walid Hanatsheh, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to secret locations.
