RAMALLAH, Saturday, June 08, 2019 (WAFA) – Qadri Abu Bakr, chairman of the Detainees Affairs Commission, has condemned the repeated crimes committed by Israel against Palestinian political prisoners in its jails, which he says have taken “a very dangerous and unprecedented dimension” designed to complicate their daily lives in prison.

Abu Bakr said in a statement yesterday that Israel is mobilizing all its capacities to create new realities in the prisons. He stressed that Israel uses all available opportunities to crack down on prisoners and their families.

He added: “There are daily incursions into prisons and detention centres, and a large number of detainees are transferred from one prison to another.”

Abu Bakr argued that Israel does not want Palestinian prisoners to have stable conditions in jail, pointing to the instruction issued by Ashkelon prison last week not to allow prisoners to celebrate Eid El-Fitr as evidence that Israel is racist.
