Palestinian detainee in Israel, Khader Adnan, 44, has been on hunger strike for 70 consecutive days and his health is gradually deteriorating, today said the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS). This is the longest time in the six hunger strikes Adnan has observed during his incarceration, it said. Adnan, from the town of Arrabeh, in the northern West Bank district of Jenin, was detained on February 5 and immediately went on hunger strike in protest against his illegal detention, the sixth and so far the longest among his strikes during his presence in jail.
