<p style="font-size:10pt;">NABLUS, (PIC)&#8211; Director of Ahrar  center for prisoners&#8217; studies Fouad Al-Khafsh said that the policy of  solitary confinement pursued by Israel is intended to humiliate the  Palestinian prisoner, break his will and damage his psyche.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In an interview with the Palestinian  information center (PIC), Khafsh described the isolation cell as a  &#8220;tomb&#8221; designed to kill the prisoner&#8217;s soul, mind and determination.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;It is a small room with an area of 1.8 meters × 2<span style="font-size:10pt;">.7 meters including a toilet and there is no space for walking or for the prisoner&#8217;s belongings; the tragedy will double</span> if there are two prisoners in one cell,&#8221; the human rights activist added.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He noted that under such inhumane  incarceration condition, some prisoners lost their mental and physical  health like prisoner Abdulnasser Al-Halisi from occupied Jerusalem.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The activist stated that prisoner Halisi is  serving a life sentence and has spent till now 21 years in prison,  eight years in solitary confinement, which led to the deterioration of  his mental health.</p>
