Palestinian prisoners continue hunger strike in Zionist prisons

SANAA, Oct. 18 (YPA) – Prisoners of Islamic Jihad movement in Israeli occupation prisons on Monday continued their hunger strike for the sixth day in a row, in protest of their unfair administrative detention without a charge or trial.
Islamic Jihad leader Daoud Shihab said the Israeli prison service is gradually retreating from its intransigence.

In a press statement last night, Shahab said the decline in the occupation was a direct negotiation with the leadership body of the prisoners of jihad.

He stressed that the prisoners of jihad insist on meeting their demands for a single package without fragmentation or timetable.
Shihab added the joining of the captured leader Mona Qadan to the hunger strike has a great symbolism in the Palestinian street.
Some prisoners have begun to refrain from drinking water, he said, stressing that this is a serious escalation.

Last Wednesday, Islamic Jihad prisoners began their hunger strike in a move that would include the rest of the prisoners in prisons later.

The leading body of the prisoners of the Islamic Jihad movement in the prisons of the Zionist occupation confirmed that the battle of the hunger strike continues, and that everything put forward by the occupation does not meet the minimum demands of the prisoners.
