Thousands of Palestinian political prisoners refuse lunch and dinner in solidarity with the hunger strikers

International

RAMALLAH, Thousands of Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons have decided to reject the lunch and dinner meals, in a token of support for six fellow prisoners who have been on hunger strike in protest of their indefinite detention without charge or trial, the Palestinian Authority’s Detainees Affairs Commission has said, WAFA News Agency reported.

The protest step comes as six Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation detention remain on hunger strike in protest of their indefinite administrative detention without a charge or trial, the oldest of whom is Kayed al-Fasfous who has been on hunger strike for 116 days.

 The other prisoners are Miqdad Qawasmeh, who has been on hunger strike for 109 days, Alaa Aaraj (92 days), Hesham Abu Hawwash (82 days), Ayyad Hureimi (46 days) and Lo’ai al-Ashqar (28 days).

Hasan Abed Rabbo, a spokesman for the Commission, said that the health conditions of the hunger-strikers are very critical, especially Fasfous and Qawasmeh who have been in hospital following serious deterioration in their health conditions, including irregular heartbeats and serious decline in body fluids and vitamins.

The six prisoners have been demanding an end of their detention without charge or trial and based on the so-called secret file which even their lawyers are not allowed to view.
