Tension rises in Israeli prisons

Ramallah, Jan 17 (Prensa Latina) The punitive policies adopted recently by the Israel Prison Service (IPS) against Palestinian prisoners will cause an explosion, warned an official source.

The head of the Palestinian Prisoners and Former Prisoners Commission, Qadri Abu Bakr, warned that the detainees could start a campaign of total disobedience against the IPS.

In recent days, officials from the said institution have transferred and isolated dozens of Palestinian inmates.

“The next stage will be difficult, as the prisoners could turn to total disobedience, and that means the possibility of deaths and injuries,” Abu Bakr stressed.

This week the inmates of the government Fatah movement called on the inhabitants of the occupied territories to support the stgruggle in Israeli prisons.

A few days ago, the Israeli diary Haaretz revealed a plan to relocate some 2,000 Palestinian detainees, including Marwan Barghouti, one of the most popular leaders of the occupied territories.

Prisoners systematically hold protests, including hunger strikes, to reject punitive measures, or denounce any new Israeli crime in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip.
