For years, Palestinian prisoners have gone on hunger strikes, using their bodies as weapons for freedom.<br /><br />They would refuse to eat for days as the last resort to gain their rights.<br /><br />The prisoners’ personal experiences under Israel’s military occupation needed to be heard by the public to raise awareness of their plight.<br /><br />In this episode of The Palestinian Diaries podcast, our guests, author and social activist Puan Sri Norma Hashim and Palestinian author Yousef M Aljamal convey the accounts by former Palestinian prisoners of Israel who have launched hunger strikes in protest of their administrative detention without charge or trial.
