Prisoners' Center: Israel intends to aggravate situation inside prisons

author Thursday November 08, 2007 11:40author by Ali Samoudi - IMEMC News Report this post to the editors

Ra'fat Hamdouna, Director of the Prisoners Centers for Studies, on Thursday condemned the decision of the Israeli Minister of the Interior to bar Palestinian prisoners from receiving official guests, arguing the move revealed the negative attitude of Israeli prison authorities.

Hamdouna stated that the move was proof that Israeli is committed to aggravating the situation inside prisons, and further increasing the foul treatment meted out to Palestinian political prisoners.

The center also condemned a perceived policy of medical negligence, arguing that many Palestinian prisoners continued to suffer from various serious ailments without treatment, calling for the immediate establishment of a medical committee that would visit prison in the hope if ensuring that detainees receive necessary medical attention.
