\r\n\tFour Palestinian hunger-striking prisoners are reportedly in critical condition at Israel’s Assaf Harofeh Hospital, according to a statement released Saturday by the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs, as 120 other Palestinian prisoners continued hunger strikes in a mass solidarity movement.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe four hunger strikers were identified by the committee as Muhammad and Mahmoud Balboul, who have been on strike for 51 and 53 days respectively, and Ayyad al-Hreimi and Malek al-Qadi who have both been on strike for more than 40 days.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tAll of the hunger strikers remained handcuffed to their hospital beds, according to the statement, according to Ma’an.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tEach of the prisoners declared a hunger strike in protest of being placed in administrative detention -- an Israeli policy of detention without charge or trial almost exclusively used against Palestinians.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe committee said in the statement that the hunger strikers were in “dire health conditions,” as they have lost a significant amount of weight and have been suffering from pains and numbing in their bodies.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe committee warned of the critical nature of their health conditions and demanded popular, legal, and political efforts to help save their lives.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe committee added that 120 Palestinian prisoners have continued their solidarity strikes first launched in support of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) member Bilal Kayid, who ended his 71-day hunger strike on Wednesday, saying that Israel Prison Service (IPS) has continued to impose punishments on the prisoners, including group confinement, banning visits, and imposing fines.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2016-08-28 15:01:33","content_date_finish":"2016-08-28 15:01:33","content_date_register":"2016-08-28 15:01:33","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"127781","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"1308089352","attach_date_register":"2016-08-28 15:01:36","attach_id":"136471","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"549","attach_img_height":"366","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"211","visit_date_last":"2025-05-12 21:05:26","attach_title":"4 hunger-striking captives in critical condition","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
