Deputy Chairman of Hamas’s political bureau Ismail Haniya has demanded the immediate release of the Palestinian hunger-striker Mohammed Al Qeiq.

In a phone call with Al Qeiq’s family, Haniya confirmed that his Movement stands with the Palestinian hunger-striker in his battle against administrative detention.

He called on all Palestinian and international rights groups to assume their responsibilities towards Al Qeiq and his cause.

Earlier, Hamas has warned the Israeli occupation of jeopardizing the life of Palestinian captive Mohammad Al Qeiq.

The 33-year-old Palestinian journalist Mohammed Adeeb Al Qeiq has been on hunger strike in Israeli lockups for 63 days in protest of his detention without trial or charges since last November
