Palestinian administrative detainee in Israel, Hisham Abu Hawwash, 40, has been on hunger strike for the 124th day in a row demanding this freedom, according to the Prisoners Commission.

It said that Abu Hawwash, from the town of Dura in the south of the West Bank, is currently held at Ramle prison clinic despite his deteriorating health condition due to his long fast.

Abu Hawwash, married and a father of five children, was detained on October 27, 2020, for his political activities and immediately served with an administrative detention order for six months that has been renewed ever since.

Palestinians serving time in administrative detention in Israel without charge or trial and based on classified evidence often revert to hunger strike to regain their freedom.
