By NNN-WAFA,
Ramallah : Palestinian Prisoners at Ramon Israeli prison, in the south of Israel, have declared that they will go on strike if the harsh situation inside the prison does not change.
A lawyer from al-Hurriyat centre for human rights Ibtisam Anati said that the discontent in the facility comes as a reaction to the apparent, repeated assault of the inmates by prison guards, as well as the general conditions in the prison.
She pointed out that some prisoners have been prevented from taking the university entrance exams, the Tawjihi, while others have been denied the books necessary to study. This has added to the mood of unrest in the jail.
Ramon prison is part of the Nafha facility in the Negev desert that has been widely criticized for its human rights abuses.
