RAMALLAH, Tuesday, April 23, 2019 (WAFA) – A Palestinian prisoner has been held in isolation in Israeli jails for over two years, said the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Commission on Tuesday.
It said 23-year-old Yousef al-Shinnawi, from Haifa in Israel, has been placed in isolation in Maggido prison since March 2017 in very difficult living conditions.
The Commission said in a statement that the Israeli Prison Services isolated Shinnawi from the rest of the political prisoners after claiming that he was a danger to the security of Israel. He is serving a life sentence plus 20 years on charges of resistance.
Shinnawi was put in isolation two months after his arrest. The isolation order is for six months and has been renewed ever since. The current isolation order ends in September.
