From Palestinian hunger-striker said to be in critical condition
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian prisoner who is in a coma after being on hunger strike for over 60 days is now in “critical condition,” the Palestinian Ma’an News Agency reports.
The Palestinian Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs says 25-year-old Malik al-Qadi is “fighting death.”
Al-Qadi launched the hunger strike in protest of his detention without trial. The High Court of Justice on Tuesday rejected a petition to cancel his administrative detention, while the Israeli army spokesperson’s office told The Times of Israel al-Qadi “was placed under administrative detention due to his involvement in the terrorist organization, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which threatens the security of the region.”
