GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- The Supreme National Committee to Defend Detainees said prisoners in Israel's Haredim prison were assaulted shortly after they began eating their iftar meal on Thursday.
A statement from the group said a phone call from prisoners reported a cell invasion as prisoners broke their fast, reportedly in an effort to locate mobile phones smuggled in by inmates.
The report said that guards ransacked several cells, destroyed the property of prisoners and insulted them.
Following the incident, the report continued, three prisoners were put in solitary confinement. They were identified as Rawhi Mishthi, Kamal Abu Na’im and Khamis Akel. Witnesses said they refused to cooperate with the cell check.
