World Muslim scholars call for day of hunger strike

The union of world Muslim scholars and Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza have called for a single day hunger strike on Monday in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners.

Dr. Ali Mohiuddin Qurra Daghi, the deputy chairman of the union, which includes 60000 scholars, said in a statement on Saturday during a conference in Doha on Palestinian refugees that the fasting day would be in solidarity with the Palestinian captives who plan to go on hunger strike to protest cruel incarceration conditions in Zionist regime’s jails.

For their part, Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza called in a press release on Saturday for a similar fasting day on Monday in solidarity with those prisoners.

The statement lashed out at the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah for maintaining contacts with Zionist regime and trying to revive the so-called peace process, which would provide a cover-up for “Zionist crimes”.
