Fifty Freed Prisoners In Gaza Join Prison Hunger Strikers
Ahrar-Wledna
Wednesday 2 May 2012
Fifty freed prisoners in the besieged Gaza Strip have announced a hunger strike in sympathy with the striking prisoners
in occupation jails.
The freed prisoners made their announcement at a press conference at a tent sit-in, near the Unknown Soldiers Statue in
Gaza City, a reporter for Ahrar-Wledna informed.
The hunger strikers also expressed their anger at the silence of the international community after three weeks of the
hunger strike, with some strikers having been moved to hospitals and others put into solitary confinement, instead of
acceding to their demands or at least taking them to hospital.
Even the Israeli media avoids speaking about the prisoners, their conditions or food strike.
The Zionist Israeli occupation leaders consider the Palestinian prisoners “criminals,” not defenders of rights and
destiny.
Our reporter adds that the General Assembly of the UN had issued decision 2034, in December 1972, supporting the
resistance against occupation, and denouncing any attempt of suppressing this resistance.
