Hunger Strike Solidarity

Written By Israel/Palestine Mission Network

Raise Awareness and take the Salt Water Challenge to support Palestinian hunger strikers.

Aarab Marwan Barghouti, son of jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti, has asked people of conscience to drink a glass of salt water to show their solidarity for his father and the 1500+ Palestinians currently on hunger strike in Israeli prisons. This call for solidarity has led to various groups across the world showing their solidarity for the striking prisoners by joining in and posting videos of themselves drinking the salt water at #SaltWaterChallenge.   

Among the many groups promoting solidarity with the prisoners, is Amnesty International who is also posting under #DignityStrike and has posted this video.
