IOA releases former hunger striker

Friday 20-January-2017

The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) released Thursday evening the former hunger striker Ayed al-Hrimi 24 after he served his 9-month administrative detention sentence.

According to the PIC reporter al-Hrimi was released after waging a hunger strike for 45 days in protest against his administrative detention without charge or trial.

He suspended his strike after reaching an agreement with Israeli authorities yielding to his demand not to extend his administrative detention.

Al-Hrimi from Bethlehem was arrested in 2013 for being affiliated with Jihad Movement. He was freed in 2015 to be re-arrested only a week after his release and placed since then in administrative detention up to date.

Meanwhile Israeli authorities renewed the administrative detention of the prisoner Mahmoud Wardian 38.

Wardian spent more than 12 years in Israeli jails in separate arrests mostly in administrative detention.
