400 Palestinian prisoners to start hunger strike tomorrow

On Oct 12, 2021

Occupied Al-Quds, (ST) – Tomorrow, 400 Palestinian prisoners will begin an open-ended hunger strike to protest the continuous crimes of the Israeli occupation against the prisoners in its jails.

Wafa News Agency quoted the Palestinian Prisoners Club as saying in a statement today that, 400 prisoners will go on strike gradually, starting tomorrow, in rejection of the occupation’s violations and arbitrary practices against them.

The Israeli occupation has escalated its attacks on Palestinian prisoners by transferring them from one prison to another, isolating them and holding them in solitary confinement since the sixth of last September, when six prisoners managed to wrest their freedom through a tunnel dug in Gilboa prison before the occupation re-arrested them after a chase that lasted for days.

About 5,300 Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli prisons face harsh detention conditions, including about 550 prisoners who need urgent medical intervention.
