The Palestinian Captive Movement has announced it will start on Wednesday to take escalatory steps in response to recent assaults in Israeli jails.
Its protest steps will include the prisoners’ refusal to take breakfast meals and the closure of their detention sections in Israeli jails until noontime according to the Captive Movement.
The Captive Movement demands Israeli jailers to release prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash who has been on hunger strike for more than 130 days to put an end to all the repressive and punitive measures against Nafha prisoners and to implement the agreement concerning the female detainees in Damon jail.
For its part Asra Media Office said that the Israeli prison service (IPS) decided to bar the Hamas prisoners in all jails from receiving family visits until further notice.
Asra Media affirmed that the Palestinian prisoners are determined to continue their battle in Israeli jails to extract their rights fully and protect their dignity.
In a related context the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said that the IPS did not end the solitary confinement of three female detainees in Damon jail.
PPS added that the IPS transferred the isolated female prisoners from other jails to Damon but they are still in solitary confinement.
Recently Israeli forces savagely assaulted Palestinian female detainees in Damon jail and isolated a number of them.
One of the detained women fainted after soldiers severely beat her and assaulted other women in the jail.
The Damon administration also took several punitive measures against the female prisoners including depriving them of taking shower for three days cutting off electricity to the section where they are held confiscating electrical appliances from their cells and transferring them from their cells.
The jailers also transferred five women to solitary confinement before taking two of them back to their section in Damon jail and keeping three of them isolated in other prisons.
The violent raids on their cells in Damon happened on December 14 and 15 and led to the injury of some women.
