Jerusalem/Gaza, June 25 (IANS) Some 80 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons ended a 63-day-old hunger strike after reaching an agreement with the Israeli authorities, officials said Wednesday. A spokesperson with the Israel Prison Service told Xinhua that some 80 prisoners ended their strike overnight Wednesday. Some 75 hunger strikers are currently in hospitals due to poor health condition, the prison service said. On April 24, some Palestinian detainees started a hunger-strike to protest the policy of administrative detention, which enabled the Israeli army to keep Palestinians in prison for a renewable period of six months without any charge or trial.
