Palestinians hold sit-in in al-Quds to support hunger-striking prisoners

‘Dozens of people have staged a sit-in in occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds to show solidarity with hundreds of Palestinians, who have gone on hunger strike in Israeli jails in protest at the Tel Aviv regime’s administrative detention policy and harsh prison conditions.
The protesters converged in front of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) building in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of the city on Wednesday, calling on international and legal organizations to intervene “without any delay and address the demands of Palestinian prisoners.”
Head of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS), Nasser Qaws, said at the sit-in that the Israel Prison Service (IPS) was “trying to spread rumors to break the will of prisoners and their families.”
He was referring to a video that purportedly shows Marwan Barghouti, former jailed Fatah leader who is leading the hunger strike, eating a cookie and a wafer in his prison cell toilet.’
