The Palestinian journalist Mohamed al-Qeiq’s wife Fayha Shalash called for an immediate and urgent intervention to save her husband’s life as he continues his hunger strike for the 8th day.
The wife in a telephone statement affirmed during a solidarity sit-in with her husband on Monday that al-Qeiq was subjected to tough investigation and torture for 22 consecutive days before being held in administrative detention pushing him to declare an open hunger strike.
During the event organized by the Waad prisoners association in Gaza its spokesman Abdullah Qandil said that al-Qeiq’s hunger strike came in defense of all Palestinian prisoners’ demands.
He warned that the prisoners are scheduled to declare a general hunger strike in all Israeli jails next April in case their demands were not met.
Qandil called on the Palestinian people to stand firmly in support of the prisoners’ issue.
