Ramallah, March 5 (RHC)-- Palestinian inmates are on a hunger strike at an Israeli prison in protest against mistreatment and poor conditions at the detention facility, the Prisoners and Former Prisoners’ Affairs Committee says.

The committee announced that 46 Palestinians at Etzion Prison, located south of occupied Jerusalem, have stopped eating their food portions since Thursday in protest against being “constantly humiliated, assaulted and beaten” during interrogations and “inhumane” conditions at the jail.

The committee said the prisoners are also angry over the quality and quantity of food served to them, filthy living spaces, inadequate medical treatment and lack of regular access to showers. Some inmates said they have not been allowed to take a shower in the past 15 days.
