The Ahrar Center for Detainees Studies and Human Rights has reported 
that Palestinian political prisoners, held by Israel under arbitrary 
Administrative Detention without charges or trial, have decided to go 
ahead and start their hunger strike on Thursday, April 24, 2014.

Ahrar said the detainees would be holding the "Freedom Revolution Strike 
2014" to protest their illegal detention, and that all administrative 
detainees, of all factions, will be part of the strike.

The detainees issued a statement revealing that contacts have been made 
to ensure all administrative detainees will start their strike Thursday.

The planned strike was coordinated between various detained political 
leaders, including detainee Abbas As-Sayyed of Hamas, and Fateh official 
and legislator, Marwan Barghouthi.

The committee organizing the strike said the move could eventually turn 
into a comprehensive strike that includes all detainees held by Israel.

The detainees called on local media outlets to support them, and to 
inform the world of their suffering and ongoing violations carried out 
against them.

One of the main demands, which was on the list of every previous strike, 
is an end to the illegitimate and arbitrary Israeli police of 
Administrative Detention, and to allow the Red Cross and their lawyers 
to visit them during their strikes.

The detainees said Administrative Detention is illegal, and Israeli must 
stop completely stop it.

Also among the demands of the detainees, including Administrative 
Detainees, is a stop to all violations and attacks against them, attacks 
against the visiting family members, granting the detainees access to 
education and proper medical attention, and various demands guaranteed 
by International Law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
