The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club announced in a statement on Saturday that thirteen Palestinian prisoners have launched an open-ended hunger strike to protest the Israeli occupation's administrative detention centers.

All thirteen Palestinian prisoners concerned are detained in the "Rimon" prison in Northern Palestine. 

Seven prisoners had previously launched a hunger strike on Thursday. However, a statement issued on Saturday revealed an additional six prisoners had joined the strikers. 

The six prisoners are all from the town of Qabatiya, located in the Jenin governorate, and have been detained since May.

They are Hadi Nazzal, Mohammed Zakarnah, Anas Kumeil, Abdul Rahman Barraqah, Mohammed Khmeis, and Zuhdi Ibeido.

While prisoners Saif Hamdan, Saleh Rabayaa, Qusai Khudair, and Ousama Khalil have been on hunger strike for two weeks, detainees Kayed Al-Fasfous and Sultan Khalouf have been on strike for ten days, and Osama Daqruq has been on strike for six.

The Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs has called on the international community to address the mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners who are often detained without trial. 

Detainees in other Israeli prisons have taken similar measures to protest the mistreatment of prisoners, including in "Ofer" which has seen several similar cases. 

Since the start of this year, at least 500 inmates have refused to show up in military courts for their hearings. 

The boycott targets the unjust renewal of administrative detention orders, which are often done indefinitely, as well as appeal hearings and sessions at "Israel’s" supreme court.

Many human rights organizations have voiced their concern over the unjust treatment of Palestinian detainees, noting that the regime violates all the rights and freedoms granted to prisoners under the Geneva Convention.

Despite this, the occupation continues to exercise its restrictive policies against Palestinians, holding them for lengthy periods without being charged, tried, or convicted.
