"Prisoners have been subjected to humiliating strip searches in the Nafha, Rimon and Naqab prisons," he said.
"The agreement was supposed to improve living conditions for the prisoners and end the punitive measures that the Israeli Prison Service carries out against them."
"There are a number of prisoners who have been taken into solitary confinement, but we are not sure of their names or numbers at the moment."
Despite promising isolation would end, Israel still uses it punitively. Dirar Abu Sisi and Kifah Khatib are affected. So are others under gulag conditions.
Many Palestinians released last October in exchange for Gilat Shalit were rearrested. Others have been hounded, monitored, and threatened.
Israel also reneged on promised family visits for Gazan detainees. Those seeking them have been stonewalled. Their loved ones were transferred to distant locations. Travel arrangements aren't possible. Permits are required. Israel won't issue them.
Human rights supporters and other activists are targeted. Israel calls them terrorists. So are nonviolent protesters. Palestinians have no rights. They're ruthlessly persecuted and exploited.
State terror defines Israeli policy. Human lives and welfare don't matter. Palestinian prisoners suffer under horrendous conditions. Israel promised change. Virtually everything remains the same.
