A few days ago, the Palestinian Ministry of Detainees and Ex-Detainees warned that the Israeli occupation's continued policy of imposing solitary confinement against prisoners will lead to a new escalation. 

In mid-May, the Palestine Center for Prisoner Studies confirmed that the number of Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment in Israeli prisons rose to 556 after occupation courts issued life imprisonment sentences against two prisoners from Jenin.

Riyad Al-Ashqar, the director of the Center, highlighted that a number of life-sentenced prisoners have been detained for more than 25 years, most of which are veteran prisoners, and dozens of other prisoners have been detained for more than 20 years, noting that the majority of longest-serving prisoners are serving life sentences.

Al-Ashqar explained that the life sentence is a life imprisonment sentence that the occupation defines as 99 years and imposes on security prisoners whom it accuses of carrying out commando operations.

Palestinian prisoners are subjected to oppressive and harsh conditions in Israeli occupation prisons, especially during the winter, when extreme cold increases, which causes the prisoners to further suffer inside prisons as a result of the violations practiced by the Israeli occupation against them and preventing them from their most basic right to heating.
