Update from Physicians for Human Rights - Israel on the Palestinian prisoners' hunger-strike

London, UK
Last month, on Tuesday, September 27, 2011, more than 100 Palestinian prisoners embarked upon a hunger strike, and true to today, the number of participants has risen to over 300. The prisoners have announced that their strike will be an open strike, it will not end on a certain date; it will continue until demands are met or until lives are lost. Despite the large scale of the strike and its potential consequences, there has been very little coverage of the strike in the Israeli press. We feel it is important to get the word out and release the information we’ve gathered in hopes that it will raise awareness and generate a more potent public debate.
