Palestinian detainees to launch hunger strike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSome 450 Palestinians held in administrative detention by Israel are planning to launch a hunger strike next week, according to Issa Karake, head of the PLO’s Commission on Prisoners.
Karake tells Voice of Palestine Radio Thursday that the prisoners, who are suspected of terror operations and are held under special emergency rules, will protest being held without trial for years at a time.
A former Palestinian Authority minister for prisoners’ affairs, Karake also says the prisoners will increase their refusal to recognize the courts dealing with their cases.
