According to Yibril al-Zubaidi, brother of the Palestinian prisoner, Zakaria al-Zubaidi was declared brain-dead on Monday as a result of torture by Israeli military after his re-arrest, as reported by Palestinian media and social networks.
The death of al-Zubadi comes as nearly 1,400 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails will begin an indefinite hunger strike next Friday to demand an end to mistreatment, relocations and administrative detention policy, WAFA News reported.
Al-Zubaidi was one of six Palestinians who broke through the Israeli security system on Monday, September 6, to escape from a maximum security prison, and was beaten and tortured by Israeli security forces after being recaptured.
Palestinian prisoners said they will take gradual steps to protest the escalation of repressive measures by prison administrations against them after the escape of six prisoners from Gilboa prison last week, the Commission for Detainees and Former Detainees Affairs said in a statement.
The commission said the first group on hunger strike will include 1,380 prisoners from various prisons; 400 prisoners from Ramon Prison, 300 from Ofer Prison, 200 from Nafha Prison, 200 from Megiddo Prison, 100 from Gilboa Prison and 80 prisoners from Eshel Prison, 50 from Shatta Prison and 50 prisoners from Hadarim Prison.
New groups of prisoners will join the hunger strike next Tuesday, while 100 senior prisoners, including Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti, will refrain from drinking water starting Friday.
The prisoners demand the Israeli prison administration to end the policy of repression, abuse and arbitrary transfers, the sentences imposed on hundreds of prisoners, release isolated prisoners to regular sections, and return detention conditions to what they were before September 5

Qadri Abu Bakr, head of the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Commission, had said before that the first phase of the hunger strike would include 1,380 prisoners.
“The prisoners and detainees have decided to go on a hunger strike to improve their conditions,” Abu Bakr said in an interview with the Palestinian news agency Ma’an.
“The prisoners’ demands in the upcoming strike aim to restore the situation to what it was before the recent punitive measures,” he explained, referring to the prison authority’s measures in the aftermath of the escape.
The prisoners added new demands, such as removing the glass separating them from visitors, and allowing families from the Gaza Strip to visit their jailed sons in the Zionist entity, the Palestinian official said.
