The Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said Thursday that the Israeli administration of Ashkelon jail announced its intention to impose new restrictions on the Palestinian prisoners in the facility describing the measures as “arbitrary.”
According to PPS the Ashkelon administration decided to use a special chair when searching the prisoners and to dispatch a jailer to the prison yard to be there with the prisoners during their daily walk.
The new measures are part of the decision issued recently by Israeli security minister Gilad Erdan to diminish the rights given to the prisoners and impose restrictions on them in all jails.
