A report issued by the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Commission on Tuesday revealed that the Israel Prison Service (IPS) has escalated in the recent months its humiliating break-ins into prisoners’ rooms.
According to the report since the end of the Freedom and Dignity hunger strike on 27th May the IPS forces have conducted 25 violent raids into prisoners’ cells which included strip-searching prisoners destroying their personal belongings and arbitrarily transferring them to other cells or prisons.
The Prisoners Commission said that such escalation fall in line with a series of deliberate and retaliatory measures waged against Palestinian prisoners especially after the victory they had achieved in the last strike which indicated the failure of the IPS policies aimed at cracking down on prisoners.
