Israeli authorities transported 70 administrative prisoners in Al-Naqab prison from cells to tents in the aftermath of their open hunger strike started three days ago.


A released prisoner, Mohamed Al-Souki, 29 years old, said that the prison administration transferred administrative prisoners to tents as a collective punishment, and threatened to take additional punitive measures against them.

Al-Souki, just released after 6 years in prison, said that Al-Naqab detainees suffer different types of physical and psychological torture, and demanded more solidarity with the detainees until all of them are released.
