Hunger Strike by Palestinian Prisoners in Israel

Tel Aviv, Oct 23 (Prensa Latina) Thousands of Palestinian prisoners in
Israel made a day of hunger strike protesting for the death of one of
their fellows at the hands of Israeli guards in the prison of Ketziot
Tuesday.

The action was sup****ted by 11,000 prisoners as rejection to the
repression Monday by Israeli guards against a riot that left hundreds
of injured people and killed one of them, according to a local
association in favour of the prisoners.

The riots started when the soldiers tried to make inspections in the
cells of some Palestinian prisoners, and the prisoners threw some
objects to the guards, who responded with rubber bullets and tear gas.

Yarona Zamir, spokesperson of the Israeli prison, wanted to minimize
the reach and size of the protest.

In the prison of Ketzoit, desert of Neguev, there are nearly 2,000
prisoners from Palestine, some under 18 years of age.

Most of them live in tents in bad conditions and submitted to physical
and psychological torture.
