A number of prisoners from Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) have decided to suspend their intended hunger strike and protest steps until next Tuesday, according to Mohjat al-Quds Foundation.
Spokesman for the foundation Tareq Abu Shallouf told a local radio station that the prisoners took their decision after the Israeli prison authority and the Shin Bet agreed to hold a meeting with their representative, Zaid Basisi, to discuss their demands. Shallouf added that the prisoners demand the jailers, among other things, to end the medical neglect policy, release four detainees from solitary confinement and find a solution to the problem of overcrowding in the sections of Islamic Jihad prisoners.
The prisoners are determined to go on hunger strike and take other protest steps if the jailers do not respond to their demands, according to the spokesman for Muhjat al-Quds Foundation. 100 prisoners from Islamic Jihad and the PFLP were intending to go on hunger strike on Sunday to pressure their jailers to respond to a number of their demands.
