GAZA, (PIC)-- The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is holding the Israeli government responsible for the lives of PFLP Secretary General Ahmed Saadat and Hamas leader Jamal Abul Haija, as the duo enter their third week of hunger strike.
"The Saadat-Abul Haija strike comes to protest their isolation in Israeli prisons for the second straight year. They have been deprived minimal human rights as well as family visits," the PFLP said Sunday.
The PFLP called on rights groups to pressure Israel into providing the prisoners with their medical needs and putting a stop to the violations that conflict with the international law and human rights.
Meanwhile, Palestinians in Israeli jails are renewing demands for the need for follow-up on their colleagues in solitary confinement.
The prisoners called solitary confinement one of the most important problems faced by prisoners and a breach of international law.
Some of the 22 isolated prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons have spent more than seven years in solitary confinement, including Qassam Brigades leaders Mahmoud Issa of Jerusalem and Hassan Salama of Gaza.
