Five Palestinian administrative detainees on hunger strike
Five Palestinian administrative detainees have been on hunger strike for several days in protest at their illegal detention with no indictment or trial.
Four of the hunger-striking detainees, Saif Hamdan, Osama Khalil, Qusay Khader and Saleh Rabay’ah, entered day eight of their hunger strike.
The fifth prisoner, Kayed al-Fasfous, started his hunger strike four days ago.
Administrative detention is a procedure that allows the Israeli occupation army to hold Palestinian prisoners indefinitely on alleged secret information without filing indictments against them or allowing them to stand trial.
