Following talks for over one hours a preliminary agreement has been reached between Palestinian prisoners and the administration of Ofer jail.
Under the agreement the prison administration agreed to return all the transferred prisoners from the jails of Hasharon Hadarim and Gilboa.
Six of those prisoners who were recently transferred from Ofer jail will be taken to Negev jail where they will stay temporarily before allowing them to return to Ofer again.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society the representatives of Ofer prisoners told the prison administration that their protest steps would continue on Friday and the first day of Eid al-Adha in order to ensure that it would honor what had been agreed upon.
On August 4 Israeli prison forces stormed prisoners’ rooms in sections 20 and 19 violently assaulted them and transferred many of them to isolation cells and other jails.
Among the detainees who were assaulted in those sections were children under age 18.
Such practices prompted other prisoners in Ofer jail to refuse to take meals served to them by jailers or practice their routine prison activities.
The prison administration in turn decided to shut down the commissary and the laundry room as part of oppressive measures against the prisoners.
