The Palestinian prisoner Bilal Diab who has been on hunger strike for seven days has stopped taking water for the second consecutive day.
Diab has declared hunger strike in protest at his ill-treatment and harassment by Israeli jailers.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) reported that Diab was transferred two days ago from Negev prison’s solitary confinement to Ashkelon’s solitary confinement while handcuffed.
He suffered multiple injuries all over his body during the transfer operation the PPS added.
The PPS’s lawyer affirmed that Diab stopped taking water and vitamins for the second day.
He started suffering sharp head and back pains in addition to extreme fatigue.
Diab 32 was arrested more than once by Israeli forces most recently was last July. He previously waged a 77-day hunger strike in 2012 in protest against his administrative detention.
According to human rights groups Israel uses its policy of administrative detention — internment without charge or trial based on undisclosed evidence— to detain anti-occupation activists and protesters in an extension of several policies that rights groups have deemed collective punishment aimed at disrupting family life for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem.
