Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission on Friday said that prisoner Hasan Shouka 30 decided to suspend his hunger strike after an agreement had been reached between his lawyer and the Israeli prosecution.
Following two months of hunger strike Shouka clinched an agreement to be released in December the Commission said in a statement.
Shouka was arrested on 28th August 2017 and received a six-month administrative detention order. On 11th October 2017 he started a hunger strike that lasted for 35 days.
Shouka ended his first strike because the Israeli authorities vowed to file an indictment against him. He was supposed to be released on 3rd June 2018 but his detention was renewed for four months.
Shouka has served over 12 years in Israeli jails 8 of which are in administrative detention only. He is one of 500 Palestinians held in Israeli lock-ups without charge or trial.
