The petition demanded the immediate release of all Palestinian administrative detainees on hunger strike to avoid serious long-term health complications for detainees or loss of life, including Hisham Abu Hawash, Shadi Abu Aker, and Ayyad Hraimi.
It demanded the subsequent immediate release of all Palestinian administrative detainees held in occupation prisons, or at the very latest the date of their case review.

It also demanded that Israel ceases the use of administrative detention to arbitrarily imprison Palestinians within the Occupied Palestinian Territories (West Bank) and East Jerusalem.
Moreover, the petition demanded that any future arrest of Palestinians follow the protocols of International Humanitarian Law that guarantee individuals know why they are being arrested and are granted proper judicial process (formal charges and trials) where individuals are able to examine the evidence presented against them and prove their innocence.
