  Agreement Reached Between Hunger Striking Detainees And Israeli Prison
  Authority

September 26, 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Palestinian Detainees’ Committee has reported, Wednesday, that an 
agreement was reached between the hunger-striking detainees and the 
Israeli Prison Authority after more than a hundred detainees started the 
strike more fifteen days earlier.

The Committee stated that the implementation of the agreement will start 
on Thursday morning, which includes lowering the frequency of the signal 
jamming devices that are causing them various health complications. The 
devices have also been impacting TV and Radios.

It also stated that the Prison Authority will also be allowing public 
phones five days a week, starting this coming Sunday, as the detainees 
have been demanding to be able to use the phones to contact their families.

Also part of the agreement is allowing the transfer of Gaza Strip 
detainees to the Negev Detention Camp, to shorten the distance their 
families are forced to travel when they are allowed to visit with them.

Furthermore, the agreement states that Israel will lift the sanctions, 
which were imposed on more than 100 detainees, who started a hunger 
strike fifteen days ago, and were transferred from Ramon, Eshil and the 
Negev, among other prisons, to Nafha and Tzalmon prisons.

The Committee stated that, despite reaching the agreement, the detainees 
will continue the hunger strike

Thursday, to ensure the Israeli compliance with it.

On September 10th, the detainees, especially in Ramon, started a series 
of measures after the administration unilaterally voided the agreement

which was reached with the striking detainees this past April, 
especially the removal of jamming devices, and the installation of 
public phones.

The detainees held several sessions of negotiations with the 
administration, but their demands were rejected, and no progress was 
ever reached.
