Israel’s parliament gave initial approval to a law to enable the force-feeding of Palestinian prisoners on a hunger strike, drawing defiance from activists who said on Tuesday it would not deter the inmates. Some 120 Palestinians held by #Israel began refusing food on April 24 in protest at their detention without trial. Since then the number has risen closer to 300. Israel’s Prisons Service say 70 have been hospitalized. read more

Israeli doctors have denounced a proposed bill that would permit the force-feeding of Palestinian prisoners, as a #hunger_strike by hundreds of jailed Palestinians enters its sixth week. The doctors said the practice, supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amounts to torture. One hundred and twenty prisoners began refusing food on April 24 in the latest in a series of strikes launched two years ago against the imprisonment of Palestinians without charge. read more

RAMALLAH, (PIC)– The Palestinian prisoner Thaer Halahleh, 34, has threatened to go on hunger strike and to stop taking medicines in protest against the Israeli deliberate medical negligence.

Halahleh, jailed in Eshel prison, had contracted hepatitis after his arrest in April.

The prisoner told the Palestinian prisoner society lawyer that the Israeli doctors told him that he suffers hepatitis B. However, he received no medical treatment.

The prisoner pointed to the ill-treatment he received while visiting the prison clinic where he prefers to endure the endless pain and not to visit the clinic.

For his part, the PPS lawyer said that Halahleh’s health status had sharply deteriorated compared to the last visit, stressing the need to provide him with necessary treatment.

The lawyer said that there is an increase in patient prisoners’ number in Eshel prison, adding that the patient prisoner Murad Abu Meileq was transferred to hospital after his health deteriorated.
