Through this hashtag, the Palestinians post and report on the prisoners news, the names of hunger strikers, supportive national statements, and information about the procedures followed by administration of occupation prisons during the strike. As well as the health condition of the prisoners and the stages of the hunger strikes, activists also publish posters and video clips that broadcast the national spirit of the Palestinians, and calls on to break the silent and go out to the streets to support the prisoners in their battle with the occupation. Journalist Ahmed Jarrar published a picture via Twitter of the martyr Abdul Qader Abu al-Fahm, noting that he was the first martyr of the captive movement and was martyred during his hunger strike in Ashkelon prison in 1970.
