Meeting Between Fatah Detainees And Jailers To End Hunger Strike

07/05/2012

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- A meeting took place in Ramon jail Monday morning between Israeli officials from the prison authority Shabas and many Fatah prisoners who were brought from different other prisons in order to discuss the formation of a committee aimed at breaking the hunger strike of Fatah prisoners.

A senior Fatah official, who is a prisoner in Ofer jail, said in a leaked letter sent to the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Israeli prison officials embarked in the morning on arranging for their meeting with Fatah leaders in prison.

The prisoner affirmed that those leaders would delegate one of them to coordinate with the Israeli prison authority on the steps to be taken to convince or force Fatah prisoners to break their hunger strike.

Informed sources from inside Israeli jails reported that 65 Fatah prisoners ended their hunger strike on Sunday, most notably, prisoner Naser Abu Hamid after they were pressured by the leadership of Fatah faction.
