In a speech to the demonstrators Dr Mohammad Al-Hindi, politburo member of Islamic Jihad said that the negotiations between the detainees and the prison service has come to a deadlock, as the prison administration circumvents the just demands of the detainees who have nothing except their intestines to fight with. Al-Hindi meanwhile paid tribute to all the detainees in the prisons of the occupation who are fighting the battle of the empty intestines for the eleventh successive day to restore their usurped rights.
