Palestinian prisoners went on a 15-day hunger strike.

The future of Palestinians detained by Israel in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict is considered central to progress in the Israeli–Palestinian peace process. Cases of prison sentences include the charges of terrorism or being a member of an "illegal terrorist organization", such as Hamas or prior to the Oslo Accords the Palestine Liberation Organization, but according to some accounts also the charge of political activism, such as raising a Palestinian flag.

The 1992 Palestinian prisoners' hunger strike was a widespread hunger strike undertaken by Palestinians in Israeli custody in the autumn of 1992. One Palestinian prisoner died as a result of the hunger strike, while several Palestinian were killed and several hundred injured by Israeli forces in demonstrations in support of the prisoners.
