1,400 Palestinian prisoners will start a strike in protest against the crimes of the occupation

About 1,400 Palestinian prisoners will start a hunger strike next Friday to protest against the continuing Israeli occupation crimes against the prisoners in its prisons.

The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority clarified in a statement today, reported by Wafa Agency, that in light of the frenzied attack of the occupation against the prisoners in all the prisons, after  six prisoners liberated themselves from the Gilboa prison, and after re-arresting four of them  and subjecting them to torture and abuse, the captive movement decided to defend its right and dignity to life and freedom by  initiating an open hunger strike in the form of batches, starting next Friday, under the slogan (The Battle of Defending the Right).

 

The commission indicated that the first batch of the strike will include 1,380 prisoners in several prisons, and then new batches of prisoners will enter this battle next Tuesday, and 100 prisoners will be struck from the water list on the Friday following the start of the strike.

The commission called on international human rights, humanitarian and legal organizations to stop remaining silent about what is happening in the occupation’s prisons and to hold its authorities accountable for their crimes against the thousands of prisoners who are harassed daily.
