11000 captives to go on hunger strike

More than 11,000 Palestinian captives announced their intention to go on mass hunger strike in all Zionist jails on 17 of April on the occasion of the Palestinian prisoner day in light of the serious violations exercised by the Israel prisons authority against their human rights.

The captives accused the concerned international institutions of neglecting the Palestinian prisoners' file and renouncing their responsibilities for protecting prisoners' rights.  

In the same context, many institutions and organizations active in the Gaza Strip and other occupied Palestinian cities will hold activities and festivals in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners behind Zionist regime's bars.

During a visit paid by the lawyer of the Nafha society for the defense of human and prisoners' rights to the Shatta prison, captive Adnan Asfour, a prominent Hamas leader, revealed that the prison administration is working on creating division and disagreement between detainees through separating and distinguishing between them according to their political affiliations.

For its part, the Nafha lawyer said that the Israeli prisons authority renewed the administrative detention of 17 Palestinian prisoners without leveling any charge against them, adding that the IPA renewed the administrative detention of prisoner Ma'moon Dahab for the fifth consecutive time.
