Palestinians take part in a protest in solidarity with prisoners on hunger strike at Israeli jails, in front of Red Cross office in Gaza city. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative Movement 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Official of the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Association, Muwaffaq Hamid STORYLINE: Thirty Palestinian administrative detainees in the Israeli prisons start an open-ended hunger strike in protest of their unfair detention without charges or trial, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Commission. Israel has escalated its administrative detention policy against Palestinians as the number of administrative detainees currently exceeded 760, including minors, women, elderly. According to the Commission, 80 percent of the administrative detainees are former prisoners who spent years in the prisons most were administrative detentions. Israel’s widely condemned policy of administrative detention allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals usually ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing. Amnesty International, has described Israel's administrative detention policy as a “cruel, unjust practice which helps maintain Israel’s system of apartheid against Palestinians.” Footage by /APA
