More than half of Palestinian prisoners in ‘Ofer’ prison infected with Coronavirus

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Feb. 03 (YPA) – The Palestinian Prisoners Club confirmed on Thursday the growing of the spread of the “Corona” virus among the prisoners in “Ofer” prison, as more than half of the captives inside the prison are infected with the virus.

The Club explained that the virus is spreading in all sections and that the Israeli Prison Administration worked to turn the epidemic into a tool of abuse.

It pointed out that the prison administration’s policy of withholding information related to prisoners and detainees, in addition to not conducting examinations for prisoners in contact, has led to the inability of any human rights or official body to count the number of people infected with the virus since its spread in Israeli occupation prisons.
