RAMALLAH, Sunday, June 30, 2019 (WAFA) – Seven Palestinians from the West Bank held in administrative detention in Israeli jails have been on hunger for seven to 15 days in protest of indefinite detention, the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said today.
It said prisoners Ihsan Othman, 21, and Jafar Izzeddin entered their 15th day of hunger strike in protest of their detention without charge or trial.
Five other prisoners, namely Mahmoud Fasfous, 29, Kayed Fasfous, 30, Ghadanfar Abu Atwan, 26, Abdul-Aziz Sweiti, 30, and Sa’ed Nammura, 27, are on their seventh day of hunger strike against administrative detention.
Hundreds of Palestinians held in indefinite administrative detention by Israel believe that the only way to end this flagrant violation of their human and civil right of holding them in open-ended administrative detention without charge or trial, is by going on hunger strike.
The majority have succeeded in their endeavor, some after only weeks and others after several months of hunger strike that has almost killed them.
