A stand in Nablus in support of the prisoners in the occupation’s detention centers

The Palestinians renewed their call on the international community to assume its responsibilities towards the issue of prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons and work to release them, especially the sick and those on hunger strike.

 

Wafa Agency reported that dozens of Palestinians organized a sit-in today in Nablus in the West Bank in support of the prisoners in the occupation’s detention centers, especially the two prisoners, Khalil Awawdeh, who has been on hunger strike for 85 days and Raed Rayan, who has been on hunger strike for 49 days, whom the occupation refuses to release despite the deterioration of their health due to deliberate medical negligence. This is in addition to the aggravation of the suffering of about 600 sick prisoners, among whom dozens are in need of urgent intervention. These prisoners are just numbers in pain, and no one from the international community pays attention to their suffering, even though they are battling death and are threatened with it at any moment.

 

Prisoners’ institutions had documented the occupation’s detention of 1,228 Palestinians, including 793 Jerusalemites, 165 children and 11 women, during last April, while the number of prisoners in the occupation’s detention centers until the end of last month reached 4,700, including 170 children and 32 female captives. The occupation practices the worst forms of physical and psychological torture against the prisoners, in an attempt to undermine their steadfastness and break their will
