Occupied Jerusalem - SANA
Palestinian prisoner Imad Al-Batran continues his open-ended hunger strike for the 39th day in a row, to protest the ongoing Israeli occupation crimes against Palestinian prisoners in his detention centers.
Wafa news agency quoted the prisoner club as saying in a statement today that the health condition of Prisoner Al-Battran, who has been detained since January 27, 2020, is deteriorating, as he suffers from many health problems, most notably severe stomach and head pain.
The statement indicated that this is the third strike by Al-Batran in the occupation prisons, where he went on hunger strike in 2013 and lasted for 105 days, and in 2016 he went on strike again for a period of 36 days.
About 4,500 Palestinian prisoners inside the Israeli occupation prisons face harsh conditions of detention, as 1,800 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.
