Captive Shalash suspends hunger strike

Sunday 26-March-2017

The Palestinian captive Rafat Shalash 34 from Beit Awwa town west of al-Khalil suspended his open hunger strike in Negev jail after promises not to renew his administrative detention.

The detainee’s father underlined on Sunday that his son suffers a serious health condition as he complains of stomach problems aggravated due to the policy of medical negligence pursued in Israeli jails.

Israeli occupation forces arrested Shalash an ex-detainee who served 7 years in Israeli jails on January 17 2016 and held him captive in administrative detention which was issued against him for three times. He started an open hunger strike on March 16 2017 in protest at the illegal administrative detention order based on no trial or charge.
