RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron - 07 November 2021. Palestinian Lawyers hold placards during a protest in solidarity with prisoners on hunger strike at Israeli jails, in the West Bank city of Hebron. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Lawyer Hamid Al-Namoura, Secretary of the Lawyers Office STORYLINE: Thousands of Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons have decided to reject the lunch and dinner meals today, in a token of support for six fellow prisoners who have been on hunger strike in protest of their indefinite detention without charge or trial, the Palestinian Authority’s Detainees Affairs Commission has said. The protest step comes as six Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention remain on hunger strike in protest of their indefinite administrative detention without a charge or trial, the oldest of whom is Kayed al-Fasfous who has been on hunger strike for 116 days. The other prisoners are Miqdad Qawasmeh, who has been on hunger strike for 109 days, Alaa Aaraj (92 days), Hesham Abu Hawwash (82 days), Ayyad Hureimi (46 days) and Lo’ai al-Ashqar (28 days). The six prisoners have been demanding an end of their detention without charge or trial and based on the so-called secret file which even their lawyers are not allowed to view. On October 14, the Israeli High Court issued a verdict freezing the administrative detention of al-Fasfous, who is being treated at Israel’s Barzilai Medical Center due to his critical health condition. However a week later, an Israeli court reinstated his administrative detention, without charge or trial, despite the serious deterioration in his health. Also on October 6, an Israeli court issued a verdict freezing the administrative detention of Qawasmeh. However on Thursday, the court reinstated the detention order. Israel’s widely condemned policy of administrative detention allows the Israeli military to hold Palestinians in prisons indefinitely based on secret information without charging them or allowing them to stand trial. The period of administrative detention orders ranges between four to six months without trial, and is based on a "secret file" provided by the Israeli intelligence service and is renewed successively.
