Hunger Strike- a film by Ashraf Mashharawi on Al Jazeera



Watch the full documentary on Palestinian prisoners who go on hunger strikes in Israeli jails to achieve their basic human rights, and sometimes their freedom . Ayman al Sharawna and Hana Shalabi whose stories are featured in the Arabic version of The Prisoners; Diaries reenact their experiences in this powerful documentary.
Thanks to Asmaa Seba the Belgian- Algerian photographer , for sharing this documentary with us , she said "From Ashraf Mashharawi, the english version , thank you for this powerful film dear Ashraf, our work to shed light on the prisoners issue is for me the most important topic because it defines the struggle for freedom and dignity, my exhibition " Une vie Suspendue" about Palestinian females former detainees is still a sensitive question in Europe because the international community don't see those Human beings as political prisoners, they consider them as terrorists, while resistants in Europe in 1944 were fighting Nazism and are depicted like heroes....."

Protest against the Arrest of Khader Adnan

Sheikh Khader Adnan was abducted by the occupation forces two days ago on Tuesday 8th July 2014.

A former Palestinian political prisoner, Sheikh Khader Adnan is known as the father of the hunger strikers - the symbol of Palestinian resistance and steadfastness, In 2011 he was abducted and caged indefinitely without any charged or trial under Israeli illegal system of punitive administrative detention. To protest his illegal imprisonment he went on hunger strike and won his freedom. His successful 66 day hunger strike in 2012 - the longest in Palestinian history at the time, inspired over 1600 other Palestinian prisoners to hunger strike. Since his release Sheikh Khader Adnan has been the voice of the Palestinian political prisoners, ceaselessly defending their rights at every opportunity and thus is a thorn in the side of the occupation.
