Palestinian prisoner Rizq al-Rajoub announced on Saturday his decision to start an open-ended hunger strike after the Israeli prison authorities ruled that he either be deported or sentenced administratively with neither charge nor trial.
According to the Prisoners’ and Ex-Prisoners’ Commission al-Rajoub was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces on November 27 2017. A verdict issued by Israel’s Ofer court ruled that he be deported overseas which he categorically rejected.
Al-Rajoub vowed that he will not suspend his hunger strike until he is either released from Israeli jail or indicted for proven charges.
The Israeli occupation forces arrested al-Rajoub from his family home and seized a car of his own four months after they had seized another two of his cars.
Prisoner al-Rajoub a native of al-Khalil’s town of Dura had been locked up for a total of 23 years in Israeli jails including 10 years in administrative detention with neither charge nor trial.
