The chairman of the Palestinian Prisoner's Club Qaddura Fares said in a statement that what happened to the prisoners in Ashkelon prison days ago, and what happened today in the Negev prison are systematic repressive policies adopted against the prisoners by the Israeli occupation forces.
During a press conference held in front of the UN Office in Ramallah about the prisoners' policy of hunger strike against the administrative detention, Fares said that the Israeli procedures adopted against the Palestinian prisoners resulted from the recommendations of an Israeli committee formed especially to make the prisoners' lives unbearable.
He reported that 13 Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli prisons are on hunger strike in protest of the administrative detention released against them.
He urged to intensify efforts and act to activate the diplomatic and political system to be up to date with any developments inside the prisons.
He also called on the international institutes to translate their positions into actions to force the Israeli occupation to stop applying repressive policies on the prisoners.
He confirmed the importance of joining all initiatives organized for the Palestinian prisoners to strengthen solidarity with them.
"The Israeli Supreme Court is just a repressive tool in the hand of the occupation government in which it surpasses all international laws," Fares said.
The mother of the prisoner on hunger strike Mujahed Hamed said that her son had spent 9 years in the Israeli prisons, and rearrested him in less than a year.
She confirmed that her son has been on hunger strike for 27 days in the Negev prison, and called on the international community to save the life of her son and all prisoners on hunger strike.
She also informed that the occupation authorities prevented her from visiting her son more than a year ago, under the pretext of the corona-virus spread, and confirmed that all laws of the Israeli occupation are unjust and that the world has to look deeply at the prisoners and their suffering to cancel administrative detention.
