RNA - About 40 prisoners affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine will join the ongoing hunger strike in Israeli jails on Monday in protest at administrative detention and in solidarity with the hunger-striking detainees, Palinfo reported.

The detainees have been calling for over a month on the Israel Prison Service to stop extending their administrative detention orders but in vain.

29 Palestinian prisoners have been on hunger strike for different periods in Israeli prisons in protest at their detention administratively without charge or trial.
