NABLUS, (PIC)– The Palestinian prisoner’s committee said in a statement on Wednesday that tension was rising high among Palestinian detainees in the Israeli Hawara military detention center. The committee said following a visit by its lawyers to the center that its administration refuses to improve and increase the meals served to those detainees. The detainees complained of humiliating and provocative treatment, of depriving them of bathing regularly and of refusing to allow entry of cleaning materials and clothes to them in addition to isolating them from the outside world. The lawyers quoted those detainees as saying that they intend to go on hunger strike by end of this week if the administration refused to meet their demands, which also include allowing their families to visit them. They asked the Red Cross to visit the center and follow up their tragic conditions. Detainees in Hawara, an Israeli army base near Nablus used as a temporary detention facility for prisoners before transferring them to other prisons, had previously complained of intentional severance of potable water supplies, adding that water was only allowed to trickle to their cells and with bad smell. |
