The Palestinian sick prisoners in Ramla prison announced on Tuesday a program to support the prisoners' hunger strike, which has been ongoing for 16 days, through returning the meals provided to them, according to the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission.
The Commission said in a statement that this move by the sick detainees was meant to pressure the Israeli authorities to respond to the prisoners' just demands.
The Commission stated that the sick prisoners decided to return three meals next week, and that some of them decided to stop taking medicine and threatened to join the hunger strike in mid-May.
The media committee of the Freedom and Dignity hunger strike pointed out that there is no confirmed news about the health conditions of the striking prisoners because of the denial of families and lawyers' visits.
In the same context, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine announced that escalating measures will be taken in the coming days regarding the strike in the Israeli jails.
Around 1,600 Palestinian prisoners started a hunger strike on 17th April 2017, which marks the Palestinian Prisoner Day, amid local and international solidarity activities to support their demands.
This strike is aimed at achieving a number of demands including ending the isolation and the administrative detention policies, providing a public phone for prisoners to communicate with their families as well as other demands related to medical treatment and family visits.
The striking prisoners, especially leaders of the strike, have been subjected to repeated transfers and isolation by the Israel Prison Service since the first day of the strike.
The Israeli occupation authorities are detaining 6,500 Palestinian prisoners in 22 prisons. The detainees include 29 who were arrested before the Oslo Agreement in 1993, 13 MPs, 57 females, 13 minors, and 500 administrative detainees.

Human rights sources revealed on Tuesday that Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested in April 60 Palestinian minors, who are below 18 years, as well as 5 women in the West Bank, Occupied Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies said, in a statement on Tuesday, that the IOF arrested 400 Palestinians over the past month including MP Ahmad Attoun.
7 Palestinian prisoners were from the besieged Gaza Strip including two women who were arrested at Beit Hanoun crossing while heading to the West Bank for medical treatment, the statement elaborated.
The arrests in Gaza also affected two fishermen and three others who allegedly attempted to cross the border line into 1948 Occupied Palestine.
The arrest of the Jerusalemite MP Attoun, 53, brought the number of the Palestinian members of the Palestinian Legislative Council who are detained in Israeli jails to 13. MP Attoun has been deported to Ramallah since 2010.
The IOF also issued 70 administrative detention orders in April including 28 orders issued for the first time.

The media committee for the hunger strike revealed that detainees of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) decided to refrain from drinking water next Sunday if Israeli Prison Service (IPS) continues to neglect their demands.
The DFLP representative captive, Samer al-Issawi said, in a letter sent on Tuesday, that the IPS bears responsibility in full for the lives of the hunger striking detainees who have entered a stage of real danger.
He affirmed that the hunger striking detainees in Israeli jails are ready to confront the IPS methods aiming at breaking the hunger strike, saying that the strike will continue until achieving victory.

The Palestinian Doctors Syndicate in Gaza warned on Tuesday against force-feeding the Palestinian prisoners in order to break their hunger strike, stressing that this is considered a murder attempt at the hands of the Israeli doctors.
This warning was voiced during a protest organized by the Palestinian Doctors Syndicate in solidarity with the striking prisoners in Israeli jails in al-Saraya square in Gaza city.
Dr. Fadel Naim, the head of the Palestinian Doctors Syndicate, held Israel fully responsible for any deterioration in the prisoners' health condition, pointing out that the delay in responding to their fair demands, which are guaranteed by the international law, is intended to prolong the strike in order to exhaust the prisoners physically and execute them slowly.
Naim called on all international institutions, especially the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders, to pressure Israel to respond urgently to the prisoners' health and humanitarian demands and improve their detention conditions.
Naim called on the Palestinian people, especially doctors, to actively participate in supporting the striking prisoners.
He asked the Arab and international human rights groups to expose the Israeli violations and medical negligence practiced against prisoners at the European courts.

Archbishop Atallah Hanna of the Greek Orthodox Church on Tuesday morning spoke up for the Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli jails at a meeting with a British delegation.
Addressing a delegation of British activists, Archbishop Hanna sounded the alarm over the agony of the Palestinian hunger strikers who have been starving behind Israeli prison bars to push for restoring their infringed rights.
The Archbishop expressed support for the hunger strikers. “Their message is ours. They speak on behalf of us all. They strive for freedom just as we do,” he said.
“Their hunger strike is the cry of oppression inflicted on them and an appeal for the world’s solidarity with Palestine and its oppressed people and prisoners,” he added.
“We deeply regret that the UK government rebuffed appeals to make a gracious apology to the Palestinians over the notorious Balfour Declaration. The government and its allies seem to turn blind eyes to the tragic upshots wrought on the Palestinian people by the Declaration,” Archbishop Hanna further stated.

Mazin Mohammad al-Maghraby 45
A former Palestinian political prisoner who joined the supporters of hunger-striking detainees at a solidarity tent died on Tuesday of a heart attack, just five months after his release from prison.
While in Israeli detention, he was subjected to medical neglect, leading to a severe deterioration of his health, including kidney failure.
The head of the Detainees Committee, Issa Qaraqe, stated that the former prisoner, Mazin Mohammad al-Maghraby, 45, was only released a few months ago, following serious health complications.
al-Maghraby had been participating in a solidarity hunger strike for the past several days, at a protest tent in Ramallah.
Qaraqe said that al-Maghraby suffered from a heart attack, and was rushed to the Ramallah General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead around dawn.
The deceased was from ‘Abwein village, north of Ramallah in the central part of the Occupied West Bank.
In addition to suffering kidney failure, al-Maghraby suffered from a number of other health conditions that were left untreated, and severely deteriorated during his five years of imprisonment.
He had been forced to undergo kidney dialysis since his release from prison, and was hospitalized a number of times.
The protest tent where he suffered a heart attack was established to maintain a constant presence in solidarity with the hundreds of hunger striking Palestinian prisoners. There are more than 1500 Palestinians currently on hunger strike, and the number is increasing daily.
This hunger strike began over a week ago following a call by imprisoned Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti and others, and has united all Palestinian political parties and factions.
The prisoners are calling for a number of demands to be met, including medical treatment for prisoners, allowing visits from their families and ending so-called ‘administrative detention, in which Palestinians are held without charges for extended periods of months and years.

Um Ahid, the mother of prisoner Mutasem Radad, is following the news about her son in Israeli jails with great concern. Mutasem has been in Israeli jails for nine years and has been suffering from intestinal cancer for the last eight years.
Mutasem’s body has been extremely vulnerable to this disease, and he became no longer able to even take medications due to the medical negligence he is subjected to.
One worrying indication is the possibility of being inflicted by another type of cancer.
Second cancer
Ahid Radad, Mutasem’s big brother told the PIC reporter, “My brother has suffered from stomach and throat pain, depriving him of sleeping. Following medical examination, it was revealed that there was a severe iron deficiency. The X-RAY revealed that there is a strange object in his belly.”
The weakness of his blood and the existence of this strange object in his belly pointed to probable indication that Mutasem is suffering from blood cancer. Because, according to doctors, the weakness of his blood can’t be justified in any other way but having a blood cancer.”
He added, “We are waiting for other medical examination results, but Mutasem has reached the last and toughest stage in his illness. He no longer can take pills because of the pain in his throat. Thus, he has to crush tablets to be able to swallow them. He can’t eat or sleep.”
No family visits
While the family is extremely worried about Mutasem’s health condition, the Israeli occupation prevents all family members of Mustasem from visiting him, including his mother who is in her late 60s.
The mother of Mutasem, Um Ahid, tells the PIC reporter that she has been prevented from visiting him for the last two years and a half, after the Israeli occupation refused to grant her a permit for ‘security reasons’, with the same procedure being applied to all his brothers and sisters without a justification.”
She stresses that the Israeli Prison Service is trying to kill Mutasem slowly, by depriving him of proper medication he is in need of. Even family visits, which used to leave a positive impact on him were banned, except for ‘a security visit’, which takes place once every six months, instead of once every two weeks.”
Medical negligence
Amir Radad, a second brother for Mutasem, told the PIC reporter that the IPS had neglected Mutasem’s illness from the start. For the last eight years, we have been demanding to have a special doctor checking on him, with our demand being rejected by the prison authorities. The IPS didn’t provide Mutasem with the needed medication. We have been asking for his transfer to a private civil hospital, but in vain.”
Amir added, “In 2010, Mutasem was supposed to undergo a surgery to remove 70% of his intestines to stop the spread of cancer and to put an end to his pain. He was admitted to the Assaf Harofeh hospital to have the surgery, but it was delayed under the claim that the surgery room was busy. It has been delayed since then. We have been waiting for seven years now.”
Amir added that “the illness of Mutasem and the pills he takes, which we have no idea about, caused many other diseases to him, such as weakness in his heart muscle and pulse, severe asthma, bone weakness, damage to his legs’ nerves, skin rash, back pain, and weak immunity.” He notes, “These illnesses exposed Mutasem’s stomach to many kinds of medications, as he takes 17 types of pills a day, with a total of 30 tablets.”
Great patience
The family of Radad told the PIC reporter that it has received a letter two weeks ago from Mutasem through his lawyer stressing that “My spirit is so high, and I am stronger than ever, thank God, despite what I am suffering from of pain in every single minute, and every single moment. I have left my illness to God and if God is by my side, who would be against me? And if God is against me, who would be by my side?”
Mutasem Radad is from the village of Sayda to the north of Tulkarem and he was arrested in 2016 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He has been for the last two years at Ramle prison hospital due to his illness.
The family of Radad has called on official bodies and NGOs, and on the top of them, the Palestinian presidency, the Ministry of Detainees, the Red Cross, and human rights organizations, to work to practice popular and official pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities to provide needed medication for Mutasem, by allowing a local or an international team of doctors to visit him, to have a comprehensive look at his medical profile, and to work on improving his imprisonment conditions, by transferring him to a more appropriate medical center. His family has called for seriously exerting efforts to release him, due to his critical condition.

An open-ended mass hunger strike by Palestinians to draw the world's attention to harsh conditions at Israeli prisons has entered its 15th day, with some of those refusing food undergoing health decline.
Nearly 1,700 Palestinian detainees have joined a mass hunger strike that has swept Israeli jails since April 17 to protest the infringement of their basic rights.
23 such mass hunger strikes had been staged by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails since 1967, the latest of which occurred in 2014 and lasted for 63 days to protest administrative detention, with neither charge nor trial.
Nearly 7,000 Palestinians, among whom 57 women, 300 children, 500 administrative detainees, and 1,800 patients, are held in Israeli lock-ups.
Meanwhile, seven Palestinian civilians have gone on an open-ended hunger strike for the third day running in a sit-in tent set up in central Jenin province. Two hunger strikers—Shadi al-Derbi and Salah Abu al-Jahim—were transferred to a hospital following a sudden health setback.
Over recent days, sit-in tents, rallies, and e-campaigns, among other protest moves, have been staged by pro-Palestine activists, nationwide and overseas, in solidarity with the hunger strikers.
A rally was recently held at Berlin’s neoclassical Brandenburg Gate to speak up for the hunger strikers’ cause.
Other solidarity moves emerged in the Swedish cities of Malmo and Landskrona. A petition urging the Swedish stakeholders and institutions to take action vis-à-vis the Israeli violations of prisoners’ rights garnered several signatures.
The Palestinian community in Brussels, in partnership with the European Coalition for Palestinian Prisoners’ Rights and the Committee to Support Democracy in Tunisia, also rallied in support for the hunger strikers.
Similar protest events occurred in Madrid and Paris, among other European metropolises.
