Palestinian security prisoners reportedly call off hunger strike
Palestinian security prisoners have reportedly called off a hunger strike that began this morning.
Citing an unnamed Palestinian source, the Kann public broadcaster reports the hunger strike will be put off by more than week, though the exact timing depends on the progress of negotiations with the Israel Prisons Service.
Other reports say the decision to delay the strike came after progress in negotiations, but do not provide any specifics.
The planned hunger strike was called to protest the prisoners’ incarceration conditions, namely the installation of cellphone jamming technology in some prisons that has made it impossible to use smuggled cellphones in the wards.
