----------------------------------------------



Palestinian prisoner Hana Shalabi has been transferred to an Israeli
hospital after nearly five weeks on hunger strike protesting Israel’s
administrative detention practices. A medical rights group is warning
Shalabi, who was arrested last month, is in grave danger. A lawyer for
Shalabi said she has lost 35 pounds but is continuing her strike.
