Three Palestinian prisoners have been on open-ended hunger strikes in Israeli jails to protest arbitrary detention.
Abbas Abu Alya Sadam Awad and Khaled Batat continue their hunger strikes in response to being held administratively with neither charge nor trial in Israeli lock-ups.
A lawyer from the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said following a visit to prisoner Abu Alya in Ofer lock-up that the latter vowed to continue his hunger strike until the end of his administrative term on August 16.
Alyan has been incarcerated in Israeli jails since June 19 2017. He started his hunger strike on August 12.
