 Lawyer Bothaina Doqmaq, head of the Mandela Institute in Palestine, reported on Friday that the detainees in several sections and in solitary confinement in Al Jalama Israeli prison and interrogation center started a hunger strike on Thursday in protest to the harsh living conditions and the administration’s rejection to move them to ordinary sections although they ended their interrogation period.
Doqmaq stated that the detainees held talks with the administration to remove them from their solitary confinement but to no avail. She added that the detainees are deprived from their visitation rights and cannot even meet with representatives of the Red Cross. The detainees complained of bad treatment, bad food, and the lack of medical attention and treatment especially since there are several detainees who are sick and need urgent attention. Doqmaq appealed international and human rights organizations, especially the Red Cross, to intervene and act to remove the detainees from solitary confinement. |
