The number of striker detainees increases to three

The commission of detainees’ affairs stated in its report issued on Tuesday that the number of striker detainees got increased to 3,after the detainee Nedal Mazen Balout from hebron ,joined the two striker detainees Hisham Abu Hawash and Loay Alashkar.

The detainee Balout was arrested on 29.10.2021 where he was transferred   to Askelon prison and then to Ofar prison for interrogations.

The Israeli Intelligence convicted Balout with many charges, without any actual evidence, as he was under interrogations for more than 20 hours, daily in his first week of detention. Also he was threatened to be transferred to administrative detention

Protesting against that, the detainee Balout started his hunger strike since his first day of detention, where he has been striking since 28 days.

The detainee Balout mentioned through the commission’s lawyer that he was assaulted and beaten by the occupation soldiers while being arrested where he still suffers from pain and he wasn’t allowed to go to the hospital despite the lawyers' request.

In the same context the two striker detainees Hisham Abu Hawash and Loay Alashkar continues their hunger strike battle refusing their administrative detention, where it marks day (101) for the detainee Abu Hawash and day (46) for the detainee Alashkar.

It is worth to mention that there are almost 60 detainees who went through hunger strike, In a protest against their administrative detention, where we as a commission call on all humanitarian institutions, International organizations and the red cross to do their job towards this fair humanitarian cause and to prevent the slow killing policy that is being practiced by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.
