The Israeli prison service (IPS) has been pressuring Palestinian hunger strikers to dissuade them from continuing their strike, Muhjat Al-Quds Foundation said on Monday.
The foundation, mainly catering for prisoners and their families, said that the IPS and the Israeli Shabak sent representatives to negotiate with three hunger striking prisoners.
It said that the prisoners Tarek Qadan, Jafar Ezzeddin, and Yousef Yassin refused the Israeli offer to reduce their sentence to three months administrative detention after which they would be released in return for ending their hunger strike.
The prisoners said they wanted written guarantees or a verdict by the Israeli higher court otherwise they refuse any offer, the foundation said.
The foundation warned that the hunger striking prisoners’ health condition was worsening day by day, and asked human rights groups and international humanitarian organizations to intervene against the administrative detention policy.
