Abu Baker: nearly 1000 detainees will go through an open hunger strike by next September

The head of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Qadri Abu Baker, stated that detainees are going to escalate their struggling plan to attain their demands, where this plan started today with dissolving the organisational bodies.

This means that the administration of prisons is forced to deal with each detainee separately. Abu Baker announced the steps that will be implemented by detainees, where 1000 detainees will go through a hunger strike next September, and the number will duplicate to reach 2000, in addition to returning their meals and other preliminary steps preceding the collective hunger strike.

Abu Baker confirmed that the strike is not the aim, but it is the last solution for them. The aim behind this struggling plan is disclaiming their rights and demands by the administration of prisons.

He also pointed out that the administration of prisons tend to deprive detainees from their rights, especially after the "freedom tunnel" , where tens of detainees got isolated.

Moreover, he related to the international solidarity with detainees and full support for their struggling plan.
