APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Al-Bireh – 15 June 2021. Palestinians take part in a protest in solidarity with Health Work Committees (HWC) and Palestinian on hunger striker prisoner Khader Adnan.
STORYLINE
General Manager of the Health Work Committees (HWC), Shatha Odeh, said that the heavily-armed Israeli soldiers smashed the main door of HWC headquarters and barged their way inside, tampering with and damaging most of its contents and seizing four computers, before posting a military order to close the building for six months, renewable.
She added that the Israeli decision to close the organization comes under flimsy security pretexts, while noting that this is the second time the headquarters was raided during the last two months.
On March 8, Israeli soldiers ransacked HWC premises and seized the hard discs of seven computers and other documents before leaving.
Political prisoner held by Israel, Khader Adnan, 43, has declared a hunger strike the day he was abducted by the soldiers on May 30th, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) stated.
The PPS said that Adnan, from Jenin in northern West Bank, is protesting his arbitrary arrest and imprisonment.
