PALESTINIAN political prisoner Hisham Abu Hawwash ended a 141-day hunger strike in victory on Tuesday evening after winning his freedom from Israel’s arbitrary detention order.
“Abu Hawash’s victory shows the power of the prisoners’ resistance to win their freedom, arm in arm with the Palestinian people and their resistance, the Arab people and the international cause of justice and liberation,” said the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
“Now is the time to redouble our efforts to free all Palestinian prisoners and bring the system of administrative detention, and the entire Israeli regime, down.”
Groups are urging the US government to secure the 16-year old’s release as his mental and physical health decline dramatically after nine months inside Ofer prison, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
