Hunger Strikes Escalate 12 Detainees On Hunger Strike - International Middle East Media Center
Detainee Ayman Sharawna (36 years old) from Dura Al Khalil: Sharawna started his hunger strike on July 1, 2012 in protest of his re-arrest under Article 186 of Military Order 1651.
Detainee Samer Al-Issawi (33 years old) from Issawiya, Jerusalem: The Israeli Occupying Forces (IOF) re-arrested Issawi on July 7, 2012. He has been on hunger strike for over 200 days in protest of his arbitrary re-arrest.
Administrative Detainees Jafar Azzidine (41 years old) and Tarek Qaadan (40 years old), from Araba, Jenin: Azzidine and Qaadan started their hunger strike on 28 November 2012, in protest of their administrative detention orders. On February 24, 2013, they were transferred from Ramleh Prison Clinic to Asaf Harove Hospital as their health condition seriously deteriorated after their refusal to drink water. They have a hearing tomorrow, to confirm a three month renewal of their administrative detentions, that will be at the hospital due to their fragile health and their inability to move.
There are 8 new hunger striker prisoners:
Detainee Mona Qa'adan from Araba, Jenin: Qa'adan entered a hunger strike on February 20, 2013 in support of her detained brother, Tarek Qa'adan, who is also on hunger strike. She is presently in isolation as punishment for having joined the hunger strike.
Prisoner Maher Abdellatif Younis, age 54, the longest serving Palestinian prisoner in the Occupations jails: Younis began his hunger strike on February 24, 2013 and is currently in Gilboa Prison. He announced his strike with the goal of shedding light on the issue of pre-Oslo prisoners (who currently number 109), and the necessity of their release en masse without appeal. He has spent over 30 years behind bars.
Administrative detainee Hazem Al-Tawil, resident of the city of Al-Khalil (Hebron): He entered an open hunger strike on February 20, 2013 after one day of detention in protest of the issuing of a six-month administrative detention order against him. He previously spent 1 1/2 years in administrative detentions.
Detainee Samer Al-Barq (38 years old) from Jayyous, Qalqilia: He has been administratively detained since February 24, 2010. He has participated in prior hunger strikes, as well.
Addameer learned that detained Younis Al-Hroub announced a hunger strike in protest of his administrative detention. Prisoners Ayman Saker, Sofian Rabie and Omar Dar Ayyoub announced an open hunger strike in support of the other striking prisoners
