Palestinian prisoner and lawyer Muhammad Allan entered his 17th day of hunger strike in Israeli jail on Saturday in protest at his recent re-detention by Israeli occupation forces on June 8.
Family sources affirmed that Allan launched his strike on June 8 the day he was detained in his hometown village of Einabus in Nablus province during a predawn raid.
Allan was released from prison in November 2015 after a year-long stint in administrative detention Israel’s widely-condemned policy of internment without charge or trial during which time he endured a 65-day hunger strike in protest against his detention.
He was previously imprisoned for three years in two separate arrests for being allegedly affiliated with the Islamic Jihad Movement.
