<blockquote class="article-intro">[Wednesday, June 25 2014] The
Palestinian “Prisoners Center for Studies” has reported that
hunger striking Palestinian detainees, held by Israel under
arbitrary Administrative Detention orders, announced suspending
their strike after reaching an agreement with the Israeli security
officials, and Prison Administration officials.</blockquote>
<p class="article">In a statement, the detainees said that, as the
Israeli aggression escalates against the Palestinian people, and
in an attempt to give the families of the detainees some relief,
following 63 days of hunger strike carried out by their detained
family members, a decision was made to suspend the strike. <br>
<br>
“To grant our families some relief, especially before the holy
month of Ramadan starts, and following 63 days of ongoing hunger
strike, we have decided to suspend our strike”, the statement
reads, “We held meetings with Israeli officials, and will release
details of the agreement after all hospitalized hunger strikers
are discharged”. <br>
<br>
On his part, former political prisoner and the head of the
Detainees Center for Studies, Ra’fat Hamdouna, stated that the
talks between the representatives of the detainees and the Israeli
officials lasted until dawn hours. <br>
<br>
He said the suspension of the strike is based on an agreement
obliging Israel to stop the endless renewals of Administrative
Detention orders, without charges or trial.<br>
Hamdouna added that the agreement includes, but not limited to,
the following points:<br>
<br>
1. Israel to stop the ongoing and open-ended renewals of
Administrative Detention orders. <br>
<br>
2. Renewals of such orders should not exceed one year. <br>
<br>
3. Any renewal after that should be based on official charges,
filed against the detainees, not the usual “secret files” that the
neither the detainees, nor their lawyers have access to. <br>
<br>
Lawyer Ashraf Abu Sneina, and the following detainees -
representatives of the detainees committee; signed the statement;
