Captive Samer Al-Issawi suspends his hunger strike after the occupation agreed to his demands

Occupied Jerusalem (ST): Palestinian prisoner Samer Al-Issawi suspended his open hunger strike today after the Israeli occupation authorities acquiesced to his request to end his solitary confinement.

The Authority of Detainees and Ex-Prisoners Affairs stated in a statement reported by the Palestinian Wafa Agency that  prisoner Al-Issawi had started an open hunger strike for 27 consecutive days, in solidarity with the families of the martyrs whose bodies are being held by the occupation, and in rejection of his solitary confinement.

The occupation forces arrested al-Issawi in 2003, then released him in 2011. In 2012, they re-arrested him, and he went on a hunger strike for 9 months to be the owner of the longest hunger strike, and took his freedom in December 2013, but the occupation re-arrested him in June 2014.
