Palestinian prisoner from Barta’a goes on hunger strike

Thursday 29-December-2016

Mohamed Alaqmmah 27 from Barta’a village started a hunger strike in Israeli jails three days ago as means to protest his administrative detention.

His family told a PIC reporter on Thursday that they only knew of his strike today and that he had gone on hunger strike to protest the renewal of his administrative detention.

Meanwhile his brother Moneer appealed to human rights organizations and activists to support his brother.

Alaqmmah was detained since last August at Barta’a checkpoint. He was then held in administrative detention for four months and received news of the renewal of his detention three days ago.
