Hundreds of Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli detention today announced a series of measures to protest an escalating repression campaign by Israeli Prison Service.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS), a prisoner advocacy group, said inmates refused to leave their cells for daily checks and to go to the prison yards for a fifth day this week amid mounting tensions.
Prisoners have previously announced the dissolution of their representative bodies that coordinate with jail authorities, meaning that each prisoner is free to do what they want to voice their grievances.
Protests will be staged on Friday and Monday, the PPS said.
