Palestinian prisoner Raed Rayan 27 entered on Saturday day 94 of the hunger strike he staged in protest at his administrative detention.

Rayan who is being held in Ofer jail was kidnaped from his home in Beit Duqqu village in west Jerusalem on December 3 2021 and soon later an Israeli military court ordered his detention administratively for six months.

He suffers from multiple serious health problems as a result of his prolonged hunger strike.

Meanwhile another administrative detainee Khalil Awawdeh has been on renewed hunger strike since last Saturday.

He decided to go on hunger strike once again after Israeli jailers reneged on their pledges to release him and extended his detention for an additional four months.

Awawdeh a 40-year-old from Idhna town in al-Khalil suspended his previous hunger strike which lasted for 111 days on June 21 after he received pledges to end his administrative detention.

In a related context hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held without trial or charge in Israeli jails entered day 189 of their boycott of Israeli courts on Saturday to demand an end to the policy of administrative detention.

In early January the administrative detainees announced a complete boycott of all judicial procedures related to their administrative detention.

The administrative detainees are being held in different Israeli prisons mostly in Negev and Ofer jails.

Last April Amnesty International said that the boycott of Israel’s military courts by hundreds of Palestinian administrative detainees “underscores the need to end this cruel and unjust practice which helps maintain Israel’s system of apartheid against Palestinians.”

“Nearly all the 490 Palestinian administrative detainees currently being held by Israel began a collective boycott on 1 January 2022 by refusing to participate in military court procedures that lack due process and are used merely to rubber stamp arbitrary detention” Amnesty said on its website.

“Their act of disobedience highlights the long-standing complicity of military courts in the use of administrative detention against Palestinians where individuals are held for months without charge or trial often on the whims of military officials or the minister of defense and based only on secret information provided by the Israeli security agency” the rights group added.

“Palestinian human rights defenders journalists academics and others have suffered from this cruel and inhuman practice and have been protesting it for decades including through hunger strikes. This boycott is a renewed collective call saying enough is enough” Saleh Higazi Amnesty International’s deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa stated.

Two Palestinian prisoners Khalil Awawdeh and Ra’ed Rayan have entered day 101 and day 66 respectively of the hunger strike they staged in protest at their detention administratively with no indictment or trial.
