The Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails Omar al-Kiswani on Monday decided to suspend his hunger strike after his health condition has deteriorated as a result of the intensive interrogation he is being exposed to.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society said in a statement that al-Maskoubiya military court decided to extend al-Kiswani’s detention for eight days under the pretext of completing the interrogation which has not stopped since the moment of his arrest on 7th March.
According to the statement al-Kiswani informed his lawyer during the trial of his decision to suspend his strike because of the exhaustion he is suffering from.
Head of the Palestinian Prisoner Society Qaddoura Fares said that what al-Kiswani is being subjected to is a crime and systematic torture which require the intervention of all concerned authorities.
Al-Maskoubiya jail is one of the worst Israeli detention centers that has witnessed thousands of torture operations carried out by Israeli interrogators against Palestinian detainees.
Al-Kiswani was kidnapped by a force of Israeli undercover soldiers who broke into Birzeit University in Ramallah on 7th March.
