The source also stated that Musleh's
sentence is about to end, with less than a year remaining, according to a local
media outlet.
Solitary confinementFadi Farah, the head of
Jordan's National Committee for Prisoners and Missing Persons in Israeli Detention
Centers, had previously stated that the Jordanian prisoner in Israeli prison,
Musleh, had started an open hunger strike four days ago.
Farah added that "the
Israeli Prisons Authority has transferred Musleh to solitary confinement as a punitive
measure for entering the strike," according to the Quds Press.
He explained that "Musleh's
demands focus on his transfer to Jordan to complete his sentence there, as well
as providing him with appropriate
medical treatment, as he was shot by the
occupation forces at the moment of his arrest."
‘False’ chargesIsraeli forces arrested Musleh on
June 23, 2020, in the town of Al-Khader in the occupied territories, after he
was shot twice in his left foot, and accused him of attempting to stab
Israelis.
Israel sentenced the
Jordanian prisoner to five years in prison for attempting to carry out a stabbing
operation.
Abdul Fattah Musleh, the father of
the prisoner Mohammed, had previously stated in media statements that his son
"had no intention of carrying out a stabbing operation," describing
the charge against him as "false”.
