A group of Palestinians have gathered outside an Israeli prison in the occupied West Bank, demanding the release of a hunger-striking journalist who is in a critical health condition, Press TV reports.
The demonstrators, among them a parliamentarian, gathered in front of the Ofer prison on Sunday and called on Israel to release Muhammad al-Qiq, who was arrested in November 2015.
Holding banners and pictures of the journalist, the protesters attempted to approach the gate of the military jail. They also called for an end to Israel’s illegal measures against prisoners.
Secretary General of the Palestine National Initiative Mustafa Barghouti (seen below), who was among the protesters, said, “We challenge them; we stand in front of the prison and we sent a message to Muhammad al-Qiq and all his colleagues [that] we are with them.”
Israeli soldiers, however, used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the demonstrators.
