Occupied Jerusalem - SANA
Palestinian prisoner Imad Al-Batran continues his hunger strike for the 45th day in a row, to protest the ongoing crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian prisoners in his detention centers.
In a statement carried by Wafa Agency, the Prisoners and Executives Affairs Authority stated that the health condition of the prisoner Al-Batran is in continuous deterioration, as he suffers from emaciation, general weakness and pain all over his body.
The statement indicated that this is the third strike of the Patriarch in the occupation prisons, as he went on a 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 among them about 700 prisoners need urgent treatment, especially cases of cancer, kidney failure and paraplegia.
