Palestinian women in the West Bank are participating in a hunger strike to demand the release of Awdah Hathaleen's body, shot dead by an Israeli settler. They are protesting police conditions for his burial, which include a limited attendance and a night ceremony. In addition to the body, they seek the release of seven Palestinian residents arrested by Israeli forces. The group consists of women aged 13 to 70, who emphasize the cultural and religious necessity for proper mourning. Awdah Hathaleen was known for co-directing an Oscar-winning documentary this year.
More than 60 Palestinian women are staging a hunger strike to demand the release of the body of Awdah Hathaleen, shot dead last week in Umm al-Kheir.
Israeli police set several conditions for his burial, including a quick and quiet burial at night with no more than 15 people in attendance.
The protesters demand the release of seven Umm al-Kheir residents arrested by Israeli forces who remain in administrative detention.
Iman Hathaleen stated that women aged 13 to 70 are participating in the hunger strike, emphasizing the need to honor Awdah in accordance with Islamic tradition.
