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.

One hundred people have signed on and honestly my brain is spinning a bit because I really did not think this would move that fast when I started typing it out at my kitchen table. It feels weirdly urgent seeing those names pop up but also kind of comforting that so many folks care about what is happening behind those prison walls right now.

Sending prayers. Enough is enough.
The world needs to pay attention to what is happening. My heart breaks for everyone inside those walls.
END THE HUNGER STRIKE BY TREATING PEOPLE LIKE HUMANS. Simple as that.
Shackling them during visits is so cruel. Seriously disgusting behavior by the authorities.
This is completely inhumane. How can they be denied medical care? Thinking of them and their families.
Vive Palestine

Free them all. Nobody should be held without a charge for this long. Absolute madness.
