Palestinian prisoners in ‘Israeli’ custody are planning to go on an open-ended hunger strike soon in protest of the ongoing raids by Israeli repression units in various prisons, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
The PLO Detainees and Ex-Detainees Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said in a joint report that the decision comes against the backdrop of recent raids by Nazi repression units into sections 3, 4 and 26 in the prison of Naqab.
