Barghouti Raises Prisoners’ Demands in Letter to ‘Israeli’ Regime
Local Editor
The Zionist entity published a list of 19 demands reportedly made by Palestinian hunger strike leader Marwan al-Barghouti on Monday, including access to 20 TV channels and air conditioning.
In a letter to Prisons Service head Commissioner Ofrah Klinger, published by Hebrew media on Day 29 of a mass Palestinian hunger strike, al-Barghouti requested longer visits with his family, and unlimited supply of newspapers and the ability to return to his academic studies for Palestinian prisoners.
The letter is not dated and it is unclear when it was written. Al-Barghouti was allowed to visit with a lawyer for the first time on Sunday.
Al-Barghouti urged Palestinians to carry out "acts of civil disobedience" ahead of Nakba Day, on Monday, marking the "Day of Catastrophe" for Palestinians.
The letter was reportedly penned on Day 28 of the mass hunger strike addressed to fellow strikers from his prison cell, in which he called upon the Palestinian people to engage in acts of civil disobedience in the face of the ‘Israeli' occupation.
Several demonstrations have ignited across the West Bank in solidarity with the prisoners since the Freedom and Dignity strike, orchestrated by imprisoned Fatah member Marwan al-Barghouti, was launched on April 17.
On Friday, a Palestinian man was martyred by Zionist forces gunfire as clashes escalated.
The letter called on the public to ramp up tensions with the Zionist entity on behalf of the Palestinian prisoners as a show of further solidarity.
Al-Barghouti vowed to "continue the battle of freedom and dignity for Palestine" until the demands of the strike, which he has maintained are all humanitarian ones, are met.
