FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The rallying protesters on Wednesday slammed the United Nation Secretary General Ban Ki-moon over his silence on the condition of Palestinian prisoners.
The Palestinian demonstrators called on the world body to take decisive measures against what they called Israeli regime’s abuse of jailed activists and unfair prison conditions.
An estimated 1,600 to 2,000 Palestinian prisoners began an open-ended hunger strike on April 17 to protest against Israel’s administrative detention rules, the use of solitary confinement, maltreatment of sick detainees, and difficulty in securing family visits and strip searches that are imposed on visitors.
According to an April 1, 2012 report, published by the non-governmental Palestinian prisoner support and human rights association, Addameer, at least 4,610 “political” Palestinian prisoners are held in Israeli jails.
Addameer figures show 322 of the Palestinian prisoners are administrative detainees.
There have been several demonstrations across the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip to express solidarity with the prisoners.
