Brutal Israeli occupation deliberately exhausts Abu Hawash
Earlier, the Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs in Palestine announced that the Israeli occupation forces transferred Abu Hawash from his prison hospital to a civilian hospital for treatment.
The commission stressed that the Israeli occupation’s prison administration has deliberately transferred him to a civilian hospital, and returned him on the same day or after several days, with the aim of exhausting him and discouraging him from continuing his hunger strike.
Besides, the Palestinian prisoners' movement in occupied Palestine expressed today total support for the decision of Palestinian prisoners in administrative detention to Boycott Israeli occupation courts over arrests without trial.
In a statement, the movement said that "the Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Palestinian prisoner's club have been contacted to coordinate the step on a national level."
