In a statement, the center demanded the international community to break their silence towards Israel's violations against the Palestinian prisoners in its jails and the bad incarceration conditions which they are living in.
The high national committee for the support of prisoners had affirmed that several injuries happened among the prisoners as a result of the excessive use of force by the special units Nahshon and Masada.
A large number of heavily-armed troops from these units stormed brutally and suddenly at night yesterday the rooms of prisoners in Ramon jail and forced them out before ransacking their rooms at the pretext of looking for cell phones.
The troops also strip searched the prisoners. All this provocative acts prompted the detainees to raise their voices in protest at what was happening to them, but the troops escalated the situation firing rubber bullets and tear gas grenades at them, and beating them.
Israel has stepped up lately its punitive measures against the Palestinian prisoners in all jails and used different pretexts to justify its aggressive acts against them.
The Palestinian center for defending prisoners urged all international organizations concerned with human rights and detainees' affairs to urgently intervene to protect the prisoners from Israel's escalation.
