Permalink Five foreign activists start hunger strike in solidarity with prisoners

Five foreign activists declared they were going on hunger strike during a visit to a sit-in tent in Beit Ummar, north of Al-Khalil, pitched in solidarity with hunger striking Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation jails.

An American activist said that she along with four others from the UK, Norway, and Japan were going on hunger strike in solidarity with those prisoners, who have been on hunger strike for almost a month. She said that they would send messages to their foreign ministries informing them of their hunger strike to pressure them into convincing the Israeli government to improve the incarceration conditions of Palestinian prisoners.

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown: Why so little condemnation of Israel's extremism? - Thaer Halahleh wrote a letter to his wife Shireen from an Israeli jail in February: "My detention has been renewed seven times and they still haven't charged me. I can't take it any more." Then the 34-year-old began a hunger strike, as did Bilal Diab. That was 77 days ago. Both are Palestinians, fathers, whose young daughters are strip searched and terrified when they visit.
