Several Palestinian ex-detainees have continued their hunger strike in their sit-in tent in Ramallah city for the third consecutive day on Monday in protest at the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) persistence in depriving them of their monthly allowances.
The sit-inners received a delegation of Palestinian Prisoner Society in Jericho headed by Nasser Shalmen. They also met with another delegation of the Independent Commission for Human Rights (the Board of Grievances) in order to hold consultation talks on some legal moves they might pursue in the few coming days.
The ex-detainees who have been holding a sit-in on Yasser Arafat Square in Ramallah for 44 days running held the PA fully responsible for the humanitarian suffering that resulted from the PA’s decision to cut off their monthly payments.
