"All Israeli policies against Palestinians are entrenched in the spirit of revenge."
"Collective punishment is the norm, and naturally with the escalation of Israeli harsh measures comes the escalation of the prisoners' means of protests."
Addameer prisoner rights director Sahar Francis added:
"Unfortunately the IPS' policies is not to respect the basic human rights of Palestinian prisoners, and tries to take away the prisoner's dignity after incarceration."
"The IPS' approach is to treat the Palestinian prisoners as if they are criminals and terrorists, with the suppression and violations against the prisoners being an extension of the process against Palestinian people in general."
