Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) banned on Saturday evening dozens of families of Jerusalemite prisoners from organizing a solidarity sit-in with the hunger striking detainees in the courtyard of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem.
The IOA prevented the event at the pretext that the land over which the ICRC headquarters is built is owned by the Israeli municipality.
The families had to protest in front of the ICRC headquarters entrance amid intensive presence of Israeli forces.
The participants carried photos of prisoners and chanted pro-hunger strike slogans.
The families affirmed their intention to carry on holding solidarity events with the striking captives until their demands are met.
