A stand in Tulkarm in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners in the occupation detention centers

Occupied Jerusalem - SANA

The city of Tulkarm in the West Bank today witnessed a solidarity stand in support of the Palestinian prisoners in the detention camps of the Israeli occupation, especially the prisoner Maher Al-Akhras, who has been on hunger strike for 79 days, and in honor of the spirit of the martyr Samir Hamidi, who has been detained by the occupation authorities for 9 days.

According to the Wafa Agency, the participants in the weekly stand in front of the Red Cross office in Tulkarm called on international humanitarian and human rights institutions, especially the Red Cross, to urgently intervene to save the life of the mute prisoner and to pressure the occupation to release the body of the martyr Hamidi because his detention violates all international laws and norms and the Geneva Convention.

The participants stressed the need to intensify the stands of solidarity with the mute prisoner and all the prisoners in the detention camps of the occupation who, with their steadfastness, have drawn all forms of struggle in light of the violations and brutal practices they are exposed to by the occupation authorities amid deliberate medical negligence against them.

About five thousand Palestinian prisoners inside the Israeli occupation prisons face harsh conditions of detention, as 1800 prisoners suffer from multiple diseases due to the spread of epidemics and germs, and among them about 700 prisoners need urgent treatment, especially cases of cancer, kidney failure and paraplegia.
