Palestinian captive Janazra on hunger strike for 56 days

Palestinian prisoner Sami al-Janazra, from al-Fuwar refugee camp in al-Khalil, has been continuing his hunger strike for 56 days in a row in protest at being arrested under the illegal administrative detention.

AhlulBayt News Agency - Palestinian prisoner Sami al-Janazra, from al-Fuwar refugee camp in al-Khalil, has been continuing his hunger strike for 56 days in a row in protest at being arrested under the illegal administrative detention.

Mutaz Shqairat, lawyer of detainees and ex-detainees committee, said that the Israeli intelligence tries to break Janazra’s hunger strike by repeatedly transferring him between jails, hospitals, and isolation sections. He has been recently returned back to isolation, he highlighted.

Lawyer Shqairat, who visited captive Janazra on Wednesday, said that he is passing through a tough condition especially that his feeling of fatigue and weakness has recently increased. He lost a lot of weight and has low sugar in blood due to long fasting.

He also complained about punitive practices he has been subjected to by Israeli prison management. The lawyer revealed that there are clear instructions given to jailers to pressure captive Janazra by all means. A group of measures has been applied against him including minimizing the break time, withdrawal of clothes and blankets as well as the appliances and devices for everyday usage.
