100 Palestinian Prisoners Plan Hunger Strike
GAZA (Dispatches) -- A Palestinian prisoners advocacy group said Monday 100 Palestinian prisoners have decided to initiate a gradual strike if Israel continues its repressive measures against the inmates.
In a statement, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said 100 prisoners of all factions at Ofer Prison in the occupied West Bank will participate in the mass hunger strike, after the prison administration reneged on its agreement of stopping the punitive measures against the prisoners, and decided to re-impose part of the restrictions it had slapped recently on the inmates.
