Prisoners' Strike Coordinating Committee Announces Suspending Hunger Strike Pending Implementation of Prison Administration's Agreements

Bahrain Mirror: The coordinating committee of the "We Have a Right" strike in Jaw Prison officially announced the suspension of the open-ended hunger strike until further notice, pending the implementation of the plan and the path agreed upon with the prison administration. 

The full statement is as follows:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 

O Allah! Send Your blessings on Mohammad and the family of Mohammad

Given the recent developments that took place between the prisoners and Jaw Central Prison administration, which were negotiations related to the real demands raised in the "We Have a Right" event, which led to understandings on a plan and path to achieve the demands.

Accordingly, it was decided to suspend the open-ended hunger strike until further notice, while the prisoners will remain pending the implementation of the plan and the agreed path.

The prisoners will remain lurking, ready to return [to the strike], if the prison administration reneges on its promises, and the comment will be read correctly as an initiative by the prisoners to resolve rather than retreat, and that it is strength, not weakness or retreat. 

The coming days will be decisive in determining the fate of the suspension or the return to the open-ended hunger strike, as the fragmentation of demands is unacceptable, which, as we have repeatedly stressed, is necessary to the point of urgency.

We also affirm that the suspension of the strike does not mean the suspension of the mass movement, especially at this stage that requires continuous momentum, as we raise the call to participate in the Diraz march next Friday. 

Blessed are our young prisoners for this legendary and valiant endeavor. We praise Allah, for all grace is for Him, and thanks to Allah and Ahlulbayt, peace be upon them, and to our Imam Mahdi.

Thanks to our honorable opposition, headed by the father and leader Ayatollah Qassim, and the venerable leaders. Thanks to our proud people, especially the families of the patient prisoners and our distinguished scholars and the Friday pulpit. Thanks for every free honest person, among the free people of world, who stood with us, namely the head of the resistance, Sayed Hasan Nasrallah.

God is the Grantor of success and Favor!

Issued by: The coordinating committee of the "We have a right" strike
