Tadamun: Abu Sisi, Saidi moved to worse isolation cells
The Israeli prison service (IPS) has moved the remaining two isolated Palestinian prisoners Dirar Abu Sisi and Awad Saidi to isolation cells worse than the former ones. Mohammed Abed, a lawyer with the international Tadamun foundation, said in a statement on Wednesday that the IPS transferred Saidi in early April from Ela isolation to Eshel isolation.
He added that the IPS transferred Abu Sisi three months ago from Ashkelon isolation to that of Ohli Kedar.
Abed quoted Saidi as saying that he was surprised with the decision to transfer him on 3/4/2013, which he at first believed meant an end to his isolation, adding that Eshel was worse than his former isolation in Ela.
An Israeli court had added a four-year sentence on the original 15-year sentence of Saidi for assaulting a prison guard.
For his part, Abu Sisi told the lawyer that he also believed that the IPS was moving him out of isolation, adding that Ohli Kedar is much worse than that of Ashkelon.
Abu Sisi said that he does not see anyone or speak to anyone, “sometimes I think I am living in another planet.”
Abu Sisi is to attend a hearing on 28/4/2013 in which the court would decide on an appeal by his lawyer against renewing his isolation for six more months.

Ahrar expresses fears to see prisoner support events decrease
Ahrar center for prisoner studies and human rights expressed its concern that the size of solidarity with the issue of the Palestinian prisoners might diminish after prisoner Samer Issawi accepted an honorable deal ending his hunger strike.
Director of the center Fouad Al-Khafsh stated that as the events that were held in solidarity with prisoner Issawi and on the occasion of the prisoner day came to an end, there are fears that the incarceration conditions of the detainees might get worse again, especially since the individual hunger strikes played a great role in shedding light on the poor conditions of the prisoners in Israeli jails and created a state of popular support for their cause.
Khafsh, however, underlined that there are efforts being made by some Palestinian factions and other institutions to continue organizing activities in support of the prisoners.
