Occupied Jerusalem-SANA
Dozens of Palestinians participated this evening in a vigil near the city of Lod in the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948 in support of the prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons, especially the prisoner Khalil Awawda, who continues his hunger strike for the 153rd day, amid very critical health conditions.
According to the Palestinian Wafa Agency, the participants in the vigil raised the Palestinian flag, pictures of the detainee, Awawda, and banners calling for pressure on the occupation to release him and all the prisoners.
It is noteworthy that Awawda, 40, from the town of Idna, west of Hebron in the West Bank, announced his first hunger strike on the 3rd of last March and suspended it after 111 days on the 21st of June, but the reneging of the occupation authorities on their pledges to release him prompted him to resume his strike on the 2nd of last July.
In another stand in the Jdeidet Al-Makr area in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948, the Palestinians affirmed their rejection of a new settlement plan for the occupation in the town of Tantour aimed at seizing their lands to establish more than 5,000 settlement units and an industrial area of 800 dunums.
The participants stressed their opposition to this occupation scheme, which threatens to create a new catastrophe for the Palestinian people through forced displacement schemes.
