The Israeli prison service (IPS) on Saturday told Palestinian adult prisoners who represent minors in Ofer jail that they would not be allowed to accompany about 60 juvenile prisoners to be transferred on Sunday to Damon jail.
According to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs the prisoners in all jails voiced their concern over the fate of those detained minors who could be exposed to maltreatment at the hands of Israeli jailers especially in the absence of their representatives.
The prisoners threatened to take protest steps if the jailers transferred those minors without being escorted by their representatives.
There are about 200 Palestinian minors in Israeli jails and they receive supervision representation and care by adult prisoners.
