The Palestinian Doctors Syndicate in Gaza warned on Tuesday against force-feeding the Palestinian prisoners in order to break their hunger strike stressing that this is considered a murder attempt at the hands of the Israeli doctors.
This warning was voiced during a protest organized by the Palestinian Doctors Syndicate in solidarity with the striking prisoners in Israeli jails in al-Saraya square in Gaza city.
Dr. Fadel Naim the head of the Palestinian Doctors Syndicate held Israel fully responsible for any deterioration in the prisoners’ health condition pointing out that the delay in responding to their fair demands which are guaranteed by the international law is intended to prolong the strike in order to exhaust the prisoners physically and execute them slowly.
Naim called on all international institutions especially the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders to pressure Israel to respond urgently to the prisoners’ health and humanitarian demands and improve their detention conditions.
Naim called on the Palestinian people especially doctors to actively participate in supporting the striking prisoners.
He asked the Arab and international human rights groups to expose the Israeli violations and medical negligence practiced against prisoners at the European courts.
