The Minister of Captives Affairs Issa Qaraqe said Friday that Palestinian captives in Asqalan ('Ashkelon') prison will begin a hunger strike on Sunday which will last for three days.

The hunger strike is in protest against violent raids by Israeli forces which took place in the prison on Thursday June 30.

"The prisoners in all Israeli prisons will begin a hunger strike on Sunday July 3 in protest against the new Israeli policy that humiliates them" a statement released by the prisoners said.

The statement also called on the Palestinian people and government institutions to support prisoners and to announce an uprising against Israeli policies.
