The Israeli prison services (IPS) transferred 70 Palestinian prisoners from Hadarim Prison to Nafha solitary confinement a Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) senior official revealed Monday.
The Secretary of the PLO Executive Committee Hussein Al-Sheikh stated that the member of the Fatah Central Committee Marwan Al-Barghouti was among the isolated prisoners.
The Israeli move came as part of a systematic campaign recently launched against the Palestinian prisoners by the Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir Al-Sheikh pointed out.
During his visit to the prison Ben Gvir talked with IPS officials about new harsh incarceration conditions awaiting the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention facilities.
In recent Twitter remarks the security minister said that he visited Nafha jail to make sure that the Palestinian prisoners would not get better detention conditions than before threatening to make his best to have the death penalty bill passed at the Knesset in order to allow his ministry to execute Palestinian prisoners accused of killing Jews.
Meanwhile the Palestinian Captive Movement announced that the prisoners in all Israeli jails are prepared to courageously and strongly face the repressive measures which the “fascist Israeli government” intends to take against them.
“Any aggression against us and our rights will be met with all-out disobedience and a massive uprising in all jails” a statement released by the Captive Movement warned.
