Palestinian Prisoner Ends Hunger Strike, 5 Others Continue Protest Against Detention Without Charge
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solidarity rallies have been held across the occupied West Bank and Gaza
to show support for five hunger-striking Palestinians who have been
imprisoned by Israel without charge under so-called administrative
detention. One of the Palestinians has not eaten for 120 days and is
reportedly in severe condition. A sixth prisoner ended his 113-day
hunger strike on Thursday after Israel agreed to release him within
three months.
