Organizers of an electronic media campaign in support of hunger striking prisoners in Israeli jails said that the campaign aims to spread awareness about the hunger striking prisoners and their suffering, via new media and social networking sites.
Lara Yahya, the campaigners' spokeswoman, said that "today is an international day of solidarity with the hunger strikers in the Israeli jails."
Dozens of Palestinian and Arab pages on the social networking sites, as Facebook and Twitter, will participate in the campaign, in addition to the participation of the largest Arab networks, the local radio stations and the Palestinian satellite channels, Lara added.
She pointed out that the campaign will be in nine languages (Arabic, English, Turkish, Hebrew, Russian, German and Portuguese as well as French and Spanish), and that more than 350 Facebook pages will take part in this campaign.
The Palestinian activist stressed that the electronic campaigns in support of the striking prisoners have a significant effect on Western countries and satellite news channels.
