Al Mezan Concerned for Lives of Prisoners Mahmoud As-Sarsak and Akram Ar-Rakhawi; Calls on International Community to Intervene for Their Release and Oblige Israel to Respect Principles of Justice
03/06/2012
The prisoner Mahmoud As-Sarsak is continuing his hunger strike, now on its 77th consecutive day, as is Akram Abdullah Ar-Rakhawi, now entering his 54th consecutive day, in order to achieve their just demands.
The Al Mezan Center for Human Rights notes that a number of detainees started individual hunger strikes on 29 February 2012.
On 17 April 2012, about 1,600 Palestinian detainees started a collective hunger strike, which ended on 14 May 2012 after the Israeli authorities responded to a number of their demands.
However, some prisoners undertaking individual action have now been on hunger strike for more than two consecutive months.
