Hamas organizes massive march in Ramallah in solidarity with hunger strikers

Scores of Palestinian citizens on Saturday afternoon participated in a march called for by the Hamas Movement in the West Bank in solidarity with the hunger striking administrative detainees.

According to the Palestinian information center (PIC), the participants marched carrying flags and pictures of hunger strikers from the grand Mosque of El-Bireh city to Yaser Arafat roundabout in central Ramallah.

Palestinian lawmaker Hasan Yousuf called in a speech during the rally for necessarily standing united behind the Palestinian prisoners, expressing his belief that the steadfastness of the hunger strikers made their jailers stagger and get confused.

He stressed that the administrative detainees in Israeli jails are determined to continue their hunger strike until their jailers end their illegal detention.

MP Yousuf deplored the Palestinian Authority’s security apparatuses for harassing and detaining many activists advocating the prisoners’ rights, describing such acts as antinational and serving the occupation.

The lawmaker highlighted that the compass of the Hamas Movement is only directed against the criminal occupation and will never lose its way.
