Four administrative prisoners suspend their hunger strike after Israeli pledges

Four Palestinian prisoners suspended their hunger strike after reaching an agreement with Israeli jailers to end their administrative detention, according to their families. The prisoners are Anas Jawdalla, Muayad Sharab, Basel Dweikat and Samir Bahis. Their hunger strike lasted for three days before they decided to suspend it. The families told Ahrar center for prisoners' studies that the Israeli prison authority pledged not to extend their administrative detention if they ended their hunger strike. For his part, director of the center Fouad Al-Khafsh said the four prisoners have fears that the prison authority may not fulfil its promises, especially since it had already deceived them with regard to the terms they had to spend in jail. He added that the prisoners threatened to resume their open-ended hunger strike if the prison authority did not end their administrative detention as it promised.
