Three administrative detainees enter day 12 of their hunger strike

RAMALLAH, (Palestine Information Centre)
Three Palestinian administrative detainees entered on Thursday day 12 of the hunger strike they staged in protest at their illegal detention with no indictment or trial.

The hunger-striking detainees are Anas Shaheed, Mahmoud Talahma, and Abdullah Abdo.

As a result of their hunger strike, the three prisoners reportedly suffer from dizziness, headaches, joint pains, general fatigue, and a constant desire to vomit.

In a previous letter leaked from Offer jail, the detainees said that they were determined to continue their hunger strike until Israeli jailers respond to their demands and set time limits for their administrative detention.

According to the letter, the hunger strikers only drink water without taking any vitamins.

The three detainees have been locked up in small and dirty isolation cells in Ofer jail since they started the hunger strike. The cells are also windowless and monitored by security cameras around the clock.

Israeli forces also raid their cells every day, sometimes four times a day, and forcibly strip-search them.
