The Bureau of Security Prisoners released a recorded message ahead of the planned hunger strike this coming weekend. The Palestinian prisoners’ leadership announced a struggle plan against the extreme policies of Minister Ben Gabir and the repressive measures against them. This has led to a joint decision by the security prisoners to burn cells in different wings of the prisons. The delay of the prison administrations in responding to their demands has fueled their actions. Guards at the “Nafha” prison conducted extensive searches on Thursday, which has only heightened tensions. The leadership of the Palestinian prisoners ordered them to start a hunger strike and take further measures, following a series of measures taken by Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The closure of pita bakeries was among the prisoners’ grievances. The prisoners’ message is clear, the “Freedom or martyrdom” strike is a step towards their freedom, which they want everyone to hear.
In the shadow of security tensions and the battle month of Ramadan, today (Sunday) the Bureau of Security Prisoners released a recorded message ahead of the hunger strike planned for the coming weekend, during which the prisoners cried: “Free us while we are alive, we are on the brink of a confrontation that has not been seen before.”
On Friday, the leadership of the Palestinian prisoners announced the worsening of the measures against the administrations of the security prisons in Israel, as part of the “struggle plan to deal with the extreme policies of Minister Ben Gabir and the repressive measures against them”.
Meanwhile, the security prisoners made a joint decision to burn cells in different wings of the prisons. According to them, the action came in response to the punitive measures against them, and in light of the delay of the prison administrations in responding to their demands.
At the same time, the Palestinian news agency “Shihab” reported that on Thursday, guards at the “Nafha” prison “stormed” the prisoners’ cells and conducted extensive searches.
About a month ago, the leadership of the Palestinian prisoners ordered the prisoners in the Israeli prisons to start a hunger strike and to take additional measures, starting from the beginning of the month of Ramadan. This, following a series of measures taken by the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, against their extreme conditions, the prisoners won, among them the closing of pita bakeries.
In the official statement published at the time, it was written that “Our only demand is our freedom, and everyone must hear this message and our voice. We can no longer tolerate the continued abuse of us day and night, and the attack on our dignity and the dignity of our women prisoners. This strike, entitled ‘ Freedom or martyrdom’, is a step that every prisoner of all factions will take part in.”
