On April 17th over 1500 Palestinian political prisoners held in Israel jails, many without charge began a hunger strike to protest at their unlawful and cruel treatment. This includes the use of torture during interrogation, solitary confinement, numerous cases of gross medical negligence in cases of acute health issues, alongside the routine denial of family visits
On May 6th as the strikers enter the 19th day of the strike a day of solidarity will be taking place with vigils and demonstrations across the UK.
