Quds Press quoted the minister of prisoners in the Ramallah government, Issa Qaraqe, as saying that the prisoners were forced out of their cells with their hands and feet shackled before searching the rooms.
He said that the prisoners were left in the cold from 7 in the evening on Tuesday to 3 in the morning on Wednesday while forced to sit in awkward positions. They were not allowed to eat or use toilets.
He said that the operation coincided with the court ruling that ordered the release of detainee Khader Adnan after 66 days of hunger strike.
Qaraqe said that the procedure aimed at humiliating prisoners to avenge the victory of Khader and the great local and international rally behind the issue of Palestinian prisoners.
He held the Israeli occupation government responsible for such a repressive policy against prisoners in violation of all international and humanitarian laws. He appealed to the Red Cross and human rights groups to intervene to stop such “savage” assaults on the prisoners.
