A demonstration in front of Kaplan Hospital in solidarity with the prisoners
A demonstration was organized in front of Kaplan Hospital to protest the Israeli occupation's insistence on not releasing the prisoners on hunger strike and the transfer of Prisoner Miqdad al-Qawasmi from the hospital to the Ramla prison clinic.
The demonstrators chanted slogans in solidarity with the administrative prisoners and rejected any compromise over their lives.
In Ramallah, dozens participated in a rally in solidarity with the prisoners. The participants then toured several streets, chanting in support of the Resistance and calling on it to end the prisoners’ suffering.
In this context, Islamic Jihad Political Bureau member Khaled al-Batsh confirmed that the mediators have made good progress in the course of ending the suffering of the administrative prisoners.
During a sit-in by the national and Islamic forces in Gaza, in solidarity with the prisoners, al-Batsh warned the Israeli occupation that it would "pay the price" if any of the hunger strikers was martyred.
In an interview for Al Mayadeen Saturday, the official in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, Maher al-Akhras, explained that freezing the administrative detention and then reactivating it is a scheme played by the Israeli occupation, which will not deceive the prisoners, calling on the Palestinians to take to the streets and block roads in support of the prisoners.
Confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces erupted on Friday evening at the northern entrance to the city of al-Khalil, following a march in support of the prisoners on hunger strike in the Israeli occupation prisons.
Six prisoners continue their open hunger strike in Israeli occupation prisons against their administrative detention: Kayed al-Fasfous (116 days), Miqdad al-Qawasmi (109 days), Alaa al-Araj (91 days), Hisham Abu-Hawash (82 days), Ayad Hraimi (47 days), and Louay al-Ashqar (29 days).
Earlier, the Israeli occupation refroze the administrative detention order against al-Qawasmi but hinted earlier at reactivating the order under the pretext that medical reports indicate an improvement in the prisoner's health, according to the prisoner's lawyer.
Al-Qawasmi’s mother had mentioned earlier that the Israeli intelligence raised false reports that al-Qawasmi's health condition is good, and mentioned that the family is no longer able to follow up on him after he was transferred to prison, stressing that her son’s current situation requires "immediate intervention by those concerned with human rights."
