Palestinian Captive Abu Daoud goes on hunger strike until his release

Palestinian Captive Ayman Abu Daoud, who was re-arrested after his release in Wafa Al-Ahrar deal, announced that he would go on hunger strike as of Sunday 14/4/2012 until his release.

The director of Ahrar center for prisoners’ studies and human rights, Fuad Al-Khafsh, quoted Ayman as saying that after all doors were closed before him and the Israeli occupation authorities were adamant on forcing him to complete his 36-year sentence he decided to go on hunger strike.

Khafsh said that Ayman appealed to all official and private institutions and the liberated prisoners not to leave him alone in this battle for his freedom.

The Ahrar director said that Ayman was re-arrested on 13/2/2012 only few months after his release in the prisoners’ exchange deal. He had served seven years of his 36-year sentence that was passed against him for wounding a Jewish settler. His house was razed and his family was rendered homeless as additional punishment against him.
