Detainees punished for hunger strike at “Israeli” Nafha prison

According to Ma'an news agency, Palestinian hunger strikers at "Israel's" Nafha prison have been denied family visits since the start of their protests against constant bunk raids and maltreatment by "Israeli" prison guards, Kadura Fares, head of the Palestinian detainees' society, said Wednesday.

The hunger strike, which began Monday, has reportedly been answered by "repressive" actions by the prison administration against Palestinian detainees. Fares said the prison administration also sent some prisoners to isolation cells for their involvement in the strike.
