Deputy chairman of Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haniya commended the steadfastness of Palestinian prisoner Bilal Kayed, who had been on hunger strike for fifty days protesting his detention in occupation prisons without trial or charges.

Haniya praised Kayed for remaining steadfast in the face of his jailers, confirming that the Palestinian resistance regards the freedom of Palestinian prisoners as a top priority.

On June 15, Palestinian prisoner Bilal Kayed launched a hunger strike against the Israeli policy known as administrative detention, under which Palestinians are held indefinitely in Israeli prisons without charges or trial.
