Five Palestinian prisoners from al-Khalil province on Thursday suspended their hunger strike after the Israeli prison service (IPS) responded to their demands.
According to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs the prisoners started their hunger strike 12 days ago in protest at their detention administratively with no trial or indictment.
Their decision to halt their hunger strike came after IPS officials and Israeli jailers in Ramon prison pledged to release them after renewing their administrative detention for one time.
Accordingly all the prisoners will complete their administrative detention and be released before the end of the current year.
The prisoners are Mahmoud and Kayed al-Fasfous (brothers) Ghadanfar Abu Atwan Abdul-Aziz Suwaiti and Saa’ed an-Nammoura.
