Palestinian ex-prisoners who have had their salaries suspended by the Palestinian Authority (PA) have undergone medical check-ups on Thursday.
Palestinian ex-prisoners who have maintained a sit-in in Ramallah for 46 days after the PA chaired by Mahmoud Abbas cut their only sources of income had gone through medical checks carried out by a medical delegation in partnership with the Independent Commission for Human Rights.
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 livelihoods. An open-ended hunger strike has also been declared for the sixth day running.
The strike over the salary crisis has gone viral drawing nationwide protests and garnering support from all national factions and human rights institutions.
