Palestinian prisoners in Ofer prison threaten to escalate protest steps

Palestinian prisoners in Ofer prison threatened to step up their protests against the Israeli prison administration, and to take escalatory steps protesting the Israeli disregard of their demands.

Lawyer Jawad Boulos warned against the situation in the Ofer prison, following his visit to the prisoners in it, and said in a press statement on Thursday, that the Ofer prison administration deliberately ignored the prisoners’ basic rights, leading the prisoners to think about escalatory steps.

The lawyer affirmed that an alert state still prevailed since last Friday until now in Ofer prison, where the prison administration refused to return the isolated prisoners in Ayalon.

He pointed out that the prison has witnessed a brutal assault by the prison administration last Friday after Friday prayers inside the prison, targeting the representatives of the detainees, in order to destabilize the prison.
