Palestinian detainee on hunger strike for 17th day

Saturday 4-August-2018

Palestinian detainee Anas Shadid continues his open hunger strike in Israeli jails for the 17th day in a row amid deliberate medical negligence by the Israel Prison Service.

Mohjat al-Quds Foundation said that Shadid had previously launched a two-month hunger strike in Israeli jails.

It called on official and non-official organizations to urgently intervene and pressure Israel to save the life of Shadid and other hunger-striking prisoners and enable them regain their legitimate rights to freedom and dignity.

A resident of al-Khalil Shadid 21 was arrested on 2nd August 2016 and he has been held in Israeli lock-ups without charge or trial ever since.
