Palestinian prisoners continued their protest steps for the 26th day in a row in protest at the Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir’s strict measures imposed on them.
Earlier Friday the prisoners staged a sit-in in the prisons’ yards after the Friday prayer while wearing the prison uniform.
The Captive Movement had declared a set of protest steps in all Israeli prisons last month that include a mass disobedience and an open hunger strike next Ramadan.
According to the announcement the protest steps were in rejection of the Israeli punitive measures imposed against the prisoners since the right-wing minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was sworn in as national security minister in the new Israeli government.
The statement pointed out that the Palestinian prisoners are readying themselves for organized disobedience which they anticipate will escalate into a full-scale hunger strike.
