lron Fist in Zionist Jails
In mid-December, Palestinian prisoners staged partial hunger
strikes, protesting the grossly deteriorating conditions in the Zionist
Jails. The strikes spread to jails throughout occupied Palestine,
involving over 1500 political prisoners.
After more than a week, the strikes
halted. The Israeli prison authorities had
meanwhile promised to address some
of the prisoners’ grievances, but all indi-
cations are that the Zionist authorities
are hardening their repression against
the prisoners in line with the application
of the iron fist policy in the occupied ter-
ritories generally. The’ prisoners may
again find it necessary to repeat their
protest.
Need for solidarity
In the light of this situation, the
Committee for the Defense of Palesti-

addressed an appeal to human rights
organizations on January 5th:
«The Israeli campaign of torture
and siege continues against the stead-
fast Palestinian detainees in the Zionist
occupation’s prisons. These detainees
are experiencing very difficult and harsh
conditions, being continuously con-

interrogation officers. The latter have
reactivated the most violent, inhumane
methods of torturing political prison-
ers...including the following:
1. continuing a single interrogation ses-
sion for 15-20 hours to exhaust the
detainee, mentally and physically;
2. preventing the detainee from eating
for several days;
3. confining the detainee in the toilet for
several days;
4.threatening the detainee with the
Tamir law and a harsh sentence if he
does not cooperate...
5. Insulting and spitting on the
detainee...
6. Bringing the detainee’s wife or mother
and threatening to rape her; arresting
the detainee’s father;
7. confining the detainee in the place
called «the closet» with room for one
person to stand only;
8. forcing the detainee to sit on a chair
with a back at a 45 degree angle to pres-
sure the stomach and the backbone.
«in addition, the Palestinians live in
very difficult conditions that do not meet
the minimum needs of their existence. A
look at the list of the detainees’ com-
plaints and demands shows that the
occupation forces are determined to
