Families of Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli jails have gone on hunger strike to show their solidarity with the inmates.
Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: “I am a father of two martyrs and a prisoner. I have been on hunger strike for nineteen days and I continue protesting in front of the Red Cross (office) every day. The administrative detainees will not end their hunger strikes unless their demands are all met,” Nidal al-Srafeesi, a prisoner’s father said.
Some 290 Palestinians are on hunger strike to express their opposition to the Israeli administrative detention, which is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months. The detention order can be renewed for indefinite periods of time. More than 120 of the hunger strikers have been refusing food since April 24.
The Palestinian request came shortly after the Israeli parliament approved the first draft of a bill aimed at allowing the force-feeding of the Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has voiced concern over the deteriorating health of Palestinian detainees in administrative detention.
More than 5,000 Palestinians are reportedly being held in Israeli prisons, nearly 200 of them under administrative detention orders.

“We disapprove…force-feeding of the prisoners. It is their right to end their strike without being forced to do so,” Srafeesi added.Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has called on the international community to take action against the Tel Aviv regime for its treatment of Palestinians in Israeli detention.
