A campaign of open-ended hunger strikes began Sunday to pursue the fight against the unjust treatment of Palestinian prisoners held under arbitrary administrative detention at Israeli prisons.

30 prisoners held in Israeli occupation prisons initiated an open-ended hunger strike, in protest of their arbitrary administrative detention. 

The prisoners affirmed in a letter sent a few days ago that their fight against arbitrary administrative detention is still ongoing and that the actions taken by the Israeli prison administration are no longer based on "security "obsessions but that on revenge over their failed past."

At the beginning of this month, the Palestinian Prisoners Information Office announced that 1200 detainees held in the Israeli occupation prisons began an open-ended hunger strike as part of the steps taken against the procedures of the Israeli administrative prisons against the prisoners.

In a statement last month, the Committee pointed out that this decision came after the Israeli occupation violated the agreements reached last March and continued to arbitrarily transfer prisoners from their prisons every six months.

It also indicated that the Israeli occupation aims at making prisoners lose their stability and harmony with their surroundings which they acquired after spending long years in captivity, knowing that most of the prisoners are close to their 20th year behind bars.

This initiative comes as the enemy expands the scope of its arbitrary procedures, with the number of administrative prisoners including children, women, elderly and ill individuals exceeding 760, taking into consideration that 80% of the administrative prisoners are previous detainees of IOF prisons.

The latest global spark of outrage concerned prisoner Khalil Awawdeh who held his open hunger strike for 172 days, which he ended only after reaching a written agreement to set a ceiling for his administrative detention and to be released on October 2.
