Israeli occupation takes revenge against Palestinian prisoners amid world silence

OCCUPAIED AL-QUDS, (ST)_The Israeli occupation authorities have escalated their suppressive measures against the Palestinian prisoners  following the escape of six prisoners from the highly fortified Gilboa Prison through a tunnel.

 

As part of these measures, Israeli occupation conducted violent searches in Gilboa Prison, deprived prisoners from accessing canteens and forcefully moved all prisoners from Section 3 of Gilboa to Shatta Prison after a prisoner threw hot water into a warden’s face. It has also forcefully transferred 34 prisoners from Section 2 of Gilboa to the Naqab and Ofer detention facilities.

 

The Israeli occupation forces stormed at dawn, Wednesday, a number of villages and towns in Jenin, in search of the 6 Palestinians who broke out of Gilboa Prison.

 

Palestinian media sources reported that the occupation forces launched a campaign of arrests of the escapees’ relatives.

 

Spokesman of the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club Amjad Al-Najjar told the Syrian News Agency (SANA) that the Israeli occupation transferred 400 prisoners from “ Gilboa” jail. 

 

For his part, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative Mustafa Barghouti said that the world has turned its back on the violations of international  law and the rights of the Palestinians, who are fighting for their freedom. 

 

He asserted that the Palestinians will go ahead with resisting occupation and fighting all forms of racism.  

 

Member of the Central Committee of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Saber Al-Za’aneen said that the Israeli occupation take revenge against the Palestinian prisoners through preventing them from their rights that are granted by international law.
