The Prison Service announced that it would expand the range of penalties if the detainees continued their protest actions, to which they responded that they would intensify mobilization, which would lead to an indefinite hunger strike at the end of this month. We continue to struggle to confront the hate campaign directed against us by the far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who warned a few days ago in a statement to the Supreme Emergency Committee for Prisoners, which includes representatives of all Palestinian factions. .
The text highlighted, “Our main issue and our basic demand is freedom, and here we are crashing into the walls of our cells and raising our voices.”
The movement kicked off on February 14 in Nahafa prison, where authorities took retaliatory measures, including cutting off hot water to bathrooms in the middle of winter.
The campaign extended the next day to the prisons of Rimon, Ofer, Megiddo, Gilboa and the Negev, where inmates began a disobedience campaign that included boycotting security checks, according to what the Palestinian Prisoners Club said in a statement.
Official sources stated that more than 4,700 Palestinians are behind bars in Israeli prisons.
