The Palestinian prisoner association said in a statement that the single day hunger strike would be one of the steps organized in support of those detainees, PIC reported.
The association said that other administrative detainees have joined their colleagues’ hunger strike while the Israeli prison service (IPS) is still disregarding the strike despite the worsening health condition of those hunger strikers.
Meanwhile, Ahrar center for human rights said that the IPS has extended the administrative detention, without trial or charge, of a number of those detainees in absolute disregard of their serious health conditions.
Director of the center Fuad al-Khuffash said in a statement on Tuesday that the Israeli Shabak does not wish to appear weak before the hunger strikers.
He added that the detainees are informed of the extension of their detention while in solitary confinement and in a provocative manner so as to weaken their morale.
