UAWC: Urgent appeal

UAWC calls upon the international community to interfere to save the lives of the Palestinian administrative detainees

Administrative detainees have been on an open hunger strike in the Israeli prison since 24 April 2014, calling for ending administrative detention against them. Dozens of prisoners joined the strike in solidarity with the administrative detainees. The Israeli prison authorities refuse to listen to the detainees’ demands and imposed retributive measures against them, including transferring them to solitary confinement, depriving them of necessary health care in addition to beating them.
