Israelis attack Palestinian prisoners

The Zionist regime prison guards have attacked Palestinian prisoners inside an Israeli jail following their non-violent protests.

According to Press TV, a special Israeli unit was called into Ramon prison to attack Palestinian prisoners, who were protesting against the death of 64-year-old political detainee Maisarah Abu Hamdiah who died in an Israeli jail last week.
The Palestinian prisoners protested by shouting and refusing food from the Israeli prison guards, but the guards responded by attacking the prisoners using electric rods and firing tear gas.
A lawyer from Addameer Lawyers association visited Ramon prison and stated that following the attack, many prisoners were placed under solitary confinement or transferred to other prisons.
Palestinian Minister for Prisoners Affairs Issa Qaraqe has said that medical negligence in the Israeli regime’s custody led to the death of Abu Hamdiah, adding that this is a common situation occurring in all Israeli prisons.
The April 2 death of Abu Hamdiah sparked outrage throughout the occupied West Bank, the Gaza Strip and inside Israeli prisons, as the Palestinians believe that the treatment by Israeli guards inevitably caused his death.
This is the second death of a Palestinian political prisoner this year. Last month, 30-year-old Arafat Jaradat died of torture by the Israeli prison guards.
