On Wednesday 22nd February, the Israeli prisons' administration transferred approximately 120 prisoners from Negev Desert Prison to an unknown location.
In a press statement issued by the prisoners publicized by the Palestinian Prisoners' Society, they said that 120 prisoners were transferred without allowing them to take their belongings after two special Forces "al-Mutsada" and "Doour" broke into the prison with weapons and dogs.
The prisoners said that "there were no justifications for the prisons' administration, there was an enormous "number of soldiers for each prisoner; four members of the police accompanied each individual. The prisons' administration intended to humiliate them and suppress them without reason."
They also said that the prisons' administration informed the prisoners that it would cancel all previous agreements with them, and that it would escalate the procedures against them.
President of the Prisoner Society, Qadura Fares, called for a condemnation of Israeli officials in front of the International Courts and to forbid them from entering some countries.
Qadura also said that the prisoners had called for a total boycott of the Israeli Military Courts for using administrative detention in an illegal and arbitrary way, violating international and humanitarian laws and also for the questionable legality of these courts, in which decisions are based on Israeli intelligence services (Shabak), rather than on decisions that are taken by a judge or jury.
In the prisoners' statement to the Prisoners' Society, they said that the struggle of Khader Adnan has opened a door to a battle of resistance in closing the administrative detention file that Israel has been using to work against Prisoners in the first years of the occupation until now.
Many Palestinian prisoners have suffered from administrative detention and spent a great deal of their life inside Israeli prisons without any charges against them, instead under the pretext of Israeli security and the perceived threat that these prisoners are to Israel's security.
