30 Palestinian Prisoners on Hunger Strike Against Israeli Administrative Detention
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of 30 Palestinians prisoners held by Israel are now in their
second week of an open-ended hunger strike to protest "administrative
detention," the Israeli policy of holding Palestinians without charge
for up to years at a time. The hunger strikers include the French
Palestinian human rights lawyer Salah Hamouri, who has been held without
charge for six months based on secret evidence.
