Palestinian Detainees in Israeli Detention Center Threaten Hunger Strike

19 August 2007

NABLUS, (PIC)-- Palestinian detainees in the Israeli Petah Tikwa detention center have threatened to go on a hunger strike if they remained in investigation cells.

Mohammed Feidi, one of those detainees, said that physical and psychological pressures in the center were in violation of all rules.

The complaints were voiced during a visit by a lawyer of the Nafha society for defending prisoners and human rights.

The same lawyer visited the Hawara detention center and reported similar incarceration conditions where 50 detainees are crammed into the detention rooms that are small in size and are offered poor quality and quantity of food.
