AIN EL-HELWEH, LEBANON: Palestinians of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine chain themselves while others give a representation of the means of torture used by the Israeli army in their jails 18 August 2004 during a sit-in at the Ain el-Helweh refugee camp in south Lebanon in a show of solidarity. Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners are joining an open-ended hunger strike in the Israeli jails. A total of 2,264 of the 3,800 prisoners who are being held in prison service-run detention centers were now refusing their meals, according to prison service spokesman Ian Domnitz.
