RAMALLAH, The Palestinian freedom fighters incarcerated in Israel have decided to cancel an open-ended hunger strike that was scheduled to start tonight after the Israel Prison Services (IPS) has accepted their demands, today said the Higher National Emergency Committee of the Prisoners’ National Movement.
It said in a statement published by the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) that “after the Zionist enemy and its tools in the IPS have realized that the prisoners are ready to pay any price for their dignity and rights and that there is a people of resistance ready to pay any price to support their freedom fighters in the prisons of the Zionist occupation, therefore it decided to stop its unjust decisions and arbitrary measures against your imprisoned sons and to accept their demands.”
As a result of this, it added, “we decided to cancel the open hunger strike after the IPS retracted its decision of the periodic arbitrary relocation of life term prisoners.”
It praised the popular support it got for its protest steps, stressing that this support induced “the enemy to retract its measures” against the prisoners.
