Palestinian prisoners start protest steps in solidarity with Gaza



AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Palestinian prisoners in most Israeli jails started on Monday protest steps against the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip that started on Friday.
Prisoners in those jails told the PIC that the protest steps started in Ofer, Raymon, and Eshel prisons and would expand to other jails by the end of the week.
They said that they started with returning the lunch meal, refusing the count, and getting out for their daily stroll outside their prison rooms for only quarter of an hour.
The prisoners said that the protest steps would gradually escalate to display solidarity with “our people”.
The ministry of prisoners in Gaza told the PIC reporter that the prisoners would start such protest steps on Monday that would also fall in line with their rejection of the escalated assaults on them.
It said that the prisoners were also protesting their bad incarceration conditions and the policy of solitary confinement.
Sources told the PIC that the prisoners intend to enter their third stage of protest steps next week by going on two days of hunger strike each week, adding that the protest would escalate into open hunger strike.
