Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails announced their intent to step up protest moves on Thursday so as to speak up against the suspension of their salaries by the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Palestinians behind Israeli prison bars called for a mass participation in a press conference expected to be held at 12:30 a.m. on Thursday in Ramallah near Yasser Arafat Square to publicly announce the protest moves.
A sit-in has been staged by Palestinian ex-prisoners and their families for 46 days in Duar al-Sa’a in Ramallah to protest the PA’s cut of their only sources of income. An open-ended hunger strike has also been declared for the fifth day running.
The strike over the salary crisis has gone viral drawing nationwide protests and garnering support from all national factions.
