Middle East Monitor / November 1, 2022
Forty prisoners in the Israeli Ofer and Negev/Naqab prisons yesterday informed their prison administrations that they would go on a hunger strike on Tuesday.
The detainees’ protest came following the prison administration’s disavowal of a recent agreement that was reached to limit the administrative detention of the Palestinian detainee, Raed Rayan, who had been on a hunger strike for 113 days.
Local media recently reported that the Israeli intelligence had, however, issued a six-month new administrative detention order against Rayan, who has been held behind bars since 3 November 2021.
The striking prisoners were reported to be members of the Fatah and Popular Front Movements.
