Palestinian prisoners enter day 10 of their disobedience steps

Thursday 23-February-2023

The Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails entered on Thursday day 10 of their disobedience steps which they staged in protest at the arbitrary punitive measures that were taken against them at the behest of far-right security minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

As part of their escalating protest program the prisoners decided today to stage sit-ins in their prison yards while wearing the prison uniform.

A few days ago the prisoners started their protest steps by closing all the sections in their jails obstructing the routine security checks they go through every day and wearing the brown prison uniform.

The prisoners also intend to stage a mass open-ended hunger strike on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan as a last step aimed at pressuring the Israeli prison service to backtrack on the measures that were taken against them.
