BEIRUT, (PIC)– Ezzat al-Resheq, member of the Political Bureau of Hamas, today called for activities next Tuesday in Solidarity with the Palestinian captives in the occupation’s prisons.

In a press release on Tuesday (10/4) Resheq stated that the prisoners belonging to different Palestinian forces and factions will start an open hunger strike on April 17, which marks the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day.

He added that prisoners are still subjected to a Zionist organized and escalating campaign in an attempt to break their will, destroy their morale, and strip them of their basic human rights which are guaranteed by all international norms and laws.”

He said that Israel is an entity devoid of any human or moral value… It drafts and imposes policies and actions that are contradictory to the content and the spirit of the international conventions that determine the way of treating prisoners; such as the Fourth Geneva Convention.

The Palestinian leader appealed to the masses of the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic people and to the world’s free people to organize public events and protests in solidarity with the captives, supporting their fair demands and calling for occupation to stop the repressive and provocative procedures and practices against them and against their human dignity; such as the solitary confinement, to visitation rights for prisoners from the Gaza Strip who are denied such visits, and to stop the policy of administrative detention as well as all forms of harassment and abuse. ”

Resheq considered that supporting the prisoners and showing solidarity with them in their open hunger strike, “is a religious and national duty”, stressing that releasing and liberating the captives will always be at the top of the national priorities of Hamas movement and Palestinian forces.”

Finally, he ended his statement saying that “the exchange deal accomplished is not going to be the last one as long as there are Palestinians in the occupation’s prisons.”
