all of whom have been thrown in solitary confinement and denied legal visits.35 prisoners were reportedly moved from Ramon prison to other prisons, while 73 were transferred from Gilboa prison. These transfers can take days under the bosta system, one subject of the hunger strikers demands. Palestinian lawyer Karim Ajwa said that multiple prisoners from Ashkelon were transferred to Ayalon prison, while nine prisoners from Hadarim, Nafha and Gilboa prisons were transferred to Ashkelon.Marwan Barghouthi, member of the Fatah Central Committee and leader of the current Strike for Freedom and Dignity, is reportedly suffering serious deterioration to his health on his eighth day on hunger strike, as reported in multiple Palestinian media outlets.As over 1,500 Palestinian political prisoners entered their sixth day of hunger strike, Israeli occupation prison administration continued its repressive policies and targeting of strike leadership.Repressive units stormed the hunger-striking sections in Nitzan prison in Ramle, using sniffer dogs and ransacking prisoners belongings. 70 striking prisoners were transferred to the prison 40 from Hadarim and 30 from Nafha, Ramon and Ashkelon. The frequent transfers and lengthy, arduous bosta transfer project is physically taxing for the striking prisoners, putting their health at risk. Personal belongings and blankets were confiscated as well as salt and Qurans. Furthemore, striking prisoners were forbidden from the recreation area and joining collective Friday prayers on 21 AprilThe strike calls for an end to provocative and humiliating searches of prisoners, an end to medical negligence, ensuring regular family visits, an end to isolation and administrative detention, as well as a long list of other demands. According to the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners Affairs, 65 percent of the Palestinians imprisoned in Israel are affiliated with Fatah. Palestinian prisoners held in Israels Nafha prison affiliated with Islamic Jihad and Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) also said they would join the strike. Every day, Palestinian prisoners are on the front lines of struggle, facing torturous interrogation, nighttime raids, solitary confinement, and relentless attacks on their rights at the hands of Israeli occupation forces. Those attacks are aided by international and corporate complicity, support and profiteering, prisoners rights group Addameer said in a statement last month. Palestinian Prisoners Day is a critical time to stand against state and corporate complicity with Israeli imprisonment of Palestinian political prisoners.In 2016, there were approximately 6440 cases of arrests of Palestinians, including 1332 children. The average dailuy rate of arrests was 17 per day. These arrests targeted journalists, members of the Palestinian legistaive council, women, human rights defenders, children as well as university students. According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society, the first Palestinian hunger strike happened in 1968, less than a year after Israels conquest of the oPt. Since then, about twenty-five hunger strikes have been held. The last and most notorious hunger strike was the battle of empty stomachs, which was launched in 2012, following the high-profile administrative detention of Khader Adnan, a suspected activist for Islamic Jihad. Adnans first hunger strike lasted an unprecedented sixty-six days and successfully drew international attention to the issue of administrative detention of Palestinian prisoners.
