We, the undersigned, stand in solidarity with Palestinian
prisoners, currently on hunger strike, in protest against the humiliating and
cruel treatment they are subjected to at the hands of the Israeli Prison
Services.

The world must no longer ignore the plight of approximately
7,000 Palestinian prisoners who are denied their most basic human rights
enshrined in International humanitarian law.

These includes: Long term isolation, the denial of medical
attention for serious chronic diseases, lack of access to education and basic
reading material; shackling of hands and legs when meeting visitors; refusal of
family visits and excessive use of fines as a form of punishment.

Many prisoners are held without charge for unspecified
period of time and some are held under administrative laws which are being only
used in Israel.

We call on the Israeli authorities to meet the demands of
the hunger strikers immediately and release all political prisoners.
