The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said seven Palestinian detainees
in Israeli prisons are ongoing with the hunger strike and added that one of
them started his strike 83 days ago.

The PPS said that one of the hunger-striking detainees is Mohammad
al-‘Arda, one of the six detainees who managed to escape from the
high-security Gilboa’ Israeli prison on September 6th

before they were captured

.

It said that al-Arda started the hunger strike, Monday, protesting the
severe punitive measures against him, including the assaults and the
solitary confinement in Asqalan prison.

The six other detainees are ongoing with the hunger strike protesting their
continued illegal and arbitrary Administrative Detention orders, holding
them captive without charges or trial.

One of them is Kayed al-Fasfous, who started the hunger strike 83 days ago
and is determined to continue the strike despite his seriously
deteriorating medical condition.

The five other detainees are Miqdad al-Qawasma, who started the strike 77
days ago, Ala’ al-A’raj – 59 days ago, Hisham Abu Hawwash – 51 days, Rayeq
Bisharat – 46 days, and Shadi Abu Aker, 43 days ago.

The detainees are facing seriously deteriorating health conditions,
including sharp pain, fatigue, and a serious deficiency in minerals, but
are determined to continue the strike.

It is worth mentioning that, on Sunday, the Ofer Israeli military court
denied an appeal, filed by the Palestinian Detainees Committee, demanding
the release of Kayed al-Fasfous, by voiding the illegal Administrative
Detention orders against him.

In addition, detainee Miqdad al-Qawasma is held at the Kaplan Israeli
medical center, confined to his bed.

The four other detainees; al-Fasfour, al-A’raj, and Abu Hawwash are held in
solitary confinement in the Ramla prison clinic, while Abu Aker remains in
solitary confinement in Ofer prison.
