Palestinian prisoner Ayoub al-Asa has entered the 14th day of his hunger strike in an Israeli jail in protest at extending his detention administratively with no indictment or trial.
According to Muhjat al-Quds Foundation Asa affirmed in a leaked letter from the jail that he would continue his hunger strike unless Israeli jailers responded to his demand and ended his administrative detention.
According to his letter he is now locked up in a very cold isolation cell and deprived of having clothes and other important personal belongings as part of punitive measures taken against him after he started his hunger strike a few days ago on January 10.
Prisoner Asa 33 is married with three kids and was taken prisoner on June 21 2017 before the Shin Bet decided to administratively detention him with no trial due to his affiliation with the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine.
