Sit-ins in solidarity with prisoners at the Israeli Jails
Regional-Palestine, Politics, 8/26/2004

Assistant Secretary General of the Palestinian affairs in the Arab League Sa'eed Kamal on Wednesday said "the issue of the Palestinians detainees in the Israeli jails and all the Israeli suppression practices against them have become a human, national and principal cause for the whole Arabs and Palestinians."

In a statement to the BBC, Kamal added that the Arab League's emergency meeting to discuss the issue of Palestinian detainees and their open hunger strike came in the framework of the international and Arab mobilization against Israel in line with the world's condemnation of building the Israeli racial separation wall and expanding settlements in the Palestinian territories.

Meanwhile, participants in the freedom tent which was set up in front of the UN headquarters in Beirut handed a memo to the European Union (EU) mission in solidarity with the hunger strike at Israeli jails.

The memo called upon the EU to send an investigation team to the Israeli prisons in order to inspect conditions of the detainees and to make Israel set free patients, women, children and minors, in addition to consider Arab and Palestinians arrested as war prisoners and to deal with them according to Geneva Convention.

On the same concern, Syrian citizens of the Golan continued their open hunger strike inside a tent in Majdal Shams town since 10 days in solidarity with the prisoners in the Israeli jails. They will stage another strike tomorrow for 24 hours, and it will be renewed every two day.
