Days of Palestine – Ramallah
Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli occupation prisons are preparing for a mass hunger strike after Ramadan, ex-prisoner Raed Hamdan said on Thursday.
The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) released Hamdan, 35, on Wednesday after 19 months of administrative detention. He has thus served more than eight years in administrative detention.
Hamdan, who is from Dura town in al-Khalil, told Quds Press that the administrative detainees are persisting in their protest steps against the IOA policy of administrative detention, the most important of which is the boycott of military courts.
There are numerous efforts to resolve the administrative detention file, “but this necessitates firm stands and acts topped by the open hunger strike too, at least, set a ceiling for the administrative detention that sometimes lasts for five years without charge,” he said.
Hamdan pointed out that the prisoners ask for solid support on the part of their people for their rights and steps.
The number of administrative detainees in the occupation prisons has reached more than 500. Administrative detention is imposed without charge or trial and an administrative detention order can be renewed for unlimited times, with each order issued for a maximum of six renewable months.
