AhlulBayt News Agency - Six Palestinian prisoners, including a sick detainee, are on hunger strike in Israeli jails for different period of time, a rights group revealed.
The spokesperson for Palestine Center for Prisoners’ Studies Riyad al-Ashqar said that Sami Janazra, from al-Khalil, continued his hunger strike for 58 days running in protest against his administrative detention.
Janazra was recently moved to Ayla solitary confinement in Negev prison despite his continued health deterioration and weight loss, al-Ashqar pointed out.
Meanwhile, the two prisoners Adib Mafarjeh and Fuad Assi continued their hunger strike for 26 days in protest against their renewed administrative detention.
They both were moved to Ayla solitary confinement as an Israeli failed attempt to break their strike.
Along the same line, the Jerusalemite prisoner Ossema al-Rajbi goes on hunger strike for 20 consecutive days protesting against his isolation in Jalboa prison.
The Palestinian lawyer Majdi Yassin, 33, has declared three days ago an open hunger strike in protest against his illegal arrest at Karama crossing while on his way to Jordan a week ago.
For his part, the sick prisoner Mansour Muqada continued his hunger strike for 19 days in protest against Israeli deliberate medical negligence.
Muqada, who is currently held in Ramla prison hospital, threatened to escalate his protest steps and to stop taking liquids.
Mansour Muqada, one of the most seriously ill Palestinian political prisoners, was arrested in 2002 and sentenced to life prison term. During his arrest, he was shot with three bullets, causing him partial paralysis.
