Two Hamas prisoners indicted for stabbing jailers

Tuesday 14-February-2017

The Israeli prosecution authority on Monday filed indictments against two Palestinian prisoners for attacking jailers with sharp objects in recent incidents.

According to the Hebrew radio the indictments are against the two Hamas prisoners Mahmoud Nassar and Khaled al-Silawi who carried out recently stabbing attacks against two prison officers in Nafha and Negev jails.

At the time the leading committee of Hamas prisoners said the incidents happened in response to the exposure of detainees to persistent repressive and humiliating practices at the hands of Israeli jailers.

Following the stabbing incidents the Israeli prison authority took several punitive measures against Hamas prisoners and isolated 15 of them.

However representatives of prisoners and officials from the prison authority met last Friday and agreed on restoring the situation as it was before the attacks according to al-Asra Media Office.
