APAIMages - APAIMages CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza city - 6 April 2019. Palestinians take part in a protest to solidarity with Palestinian Prisoners held in Israeli jails, in the West Bank city of Nablus.
STORYLINE Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails are ready to start tomorrow, Sunday, a hunger strike unless the Israel Prison Services (IPS) accepts their humanitarian demands, Qadri Abu Bakr, head of the Commission of Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees, said today.
He told WAFA that unless Israel responds today to the demands put forward by the prisoners, a group from among the prisoners will embark tomorrow on an open hunger strike to be followed on the 17th of this month, the Palestinian Prisoner Day, with another batch and on May 1 by whoever wants to join in the hunger strike.
He said the prisoners’ main demand is to remove the jamming devices the IPS has recently installed in the Naqab (Negev or Kitziot) prison due to their impact on the health of the prisoners and the jamming of their TVs and radios, which deny them the right to watch TV or hear radio programs.
The prisoners are also demanding that the IPS installs public phones in the yards that would allow the prisoners to get in touch with their families and to take back punitive measures the IPS has imposed on the prisoners in the Naqab and Rimon prisons following outbreak of protests in these prisons. Some of these measures included raids of cells by the special repression forces, assaulting prisoners, destroying and seizing all their belongings, isolation and imposing heavy fines on the prisoners.
