Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies (PPCS) raised alarm bells over the deteriorating health status of Palestinians isolated in Israeli jails.
Speaking in a statement issued on the occasion of the third death anniversary of Palestinian prisoner Raed al-Ju’bari who died on September 9 2014 in Eshel jail PPCS spokesman Reyad al-Ashqar said at least 12 Palestinians have been incarcerated in isolated cells in Israeli prisons among whom detainees who have been isolated for over four years.
Sick Palestinian detainees Husam Omar and Moussa Sufan have also been held in solitary confinement since August 2013.
Ashqar warned of the psycho-physical repercussions of the solitary confinement policy pursed by the Israeli prison authorities against Palestinian detainees.
