Palestinian Hero on hunger strike for 20th day in Israeli prison

Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan has been on an open-ended hunger strike for the 20th consecutive day to protest his arbitrary detention in Israeli jails.

According to the Muhjat al-Quds Foundation, prisoner Khader Adnan has declared his an open-ended hunger strike some 20 days ago in response to being held arbitrarily in Israeli dungeons.

Muhjat al-Quds group called on the international community and human rights institutions, namely the Red Cross, to urgently intervene and pressurize the Israeli occupation to release Adnan, among other Palestinian detainees arbitrarily held in its lock-ups.

Mujat al-Quds railed against Israel’s torture tactics, including bans of lawyer-visits, against Palestinian hunger strikers, in contravention of international laws and treaties.

Khader Adnan, from the northern occupied West Bank province of Jenin, was kidnapped by the Israeli forces on December 11, 2017 over allegations of anti-occupation incitement.
