Hundreds of Jordanians staged a protest Friday after weekly Muslim prayers in support of Palestinians on a hunger strike in Israeli prisons. The demonstration was organised by the Muslim Brotherhood and youth organisations. Marchers in downtown Amman chanted slogans praising about 1,000 Palestinians who are fasting in a protest launched on April 17 by jailed leader Marwan Barghouti.

"Oh prisoners, you are heroes, you are the flame of the struggle" against Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, they chanted. Others held up signs saying: "The will of our prisoners is stronger that your terrorism".
