6 detainees continue their battle protesting against their administrative detention,,, there are no solutions for their issues

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs confirmed that 6 detainees are currently on hunger strike, protesting against their administrative detention, among an intensive deterioration on their health conditions. There are no solutions for their issues yet, where the occupation authorities still refusing to end their arbitrary administrative detention.

The Commission pointed out that the detainee Kayed Fasfous from Dura/Hebron is conduction the oldest hunger strike, since (88) days respectively, and he is currently held at Barzilai Hospital in critical health condition.

Another case in point is the detainee Miqdad Qawasmeh from Hebron, who is on hunger strike since (81) days. He is currently held at Kaplan Hospital in critical health condition. The occupation authorities have frozen the administrative detention order, but the freezing does not mean cancelling the order. It actually means that the administration of prisons and the Intelligence device are not responsible of his life, and turning him to unofficial prisoner held at the hospital, under the guardianship of the hospital's security instead of the jailors.

Moreover, there are 4 more detainees who are on hunger strike, such as the detainee Alaa Araj from Tulkarem, striking since (64) days, the detainees Hisham Abu Hawash from Hebron who is on a strike since (55) days, Rayeq Bsharat from Tammoun/ Tubas since (50) days and the detainee Shadi Abu Aker from Bethlehem, who is on a strike since (47) days. It is worth mentioning that the health conditions for all striking detainees are very bad and deteriorating with the time passes.

The Commission expressed its deep concern on the lives of striking detainees, and stated that the occupation authorities must hold the full responsibility on their fate, and called on the human rights organizations, especially the International Committee of the Red Cross to intervene immediately to stop the unjust policy of administrative detention, in order to find new solutions for the striking detainees before losing them.
