Supreme Court: Palestinian hunger striker to stay in jail
The Supreme Court rules that a Palestinian journalist who has been on hunger strike for more than 63 days will remain in jail despite warnings over his health.
The court says it will not release Mohammed al-Qiq immediately, but will track his health on a daily basis.
Qiq is on hunger strike over his administrative detention law; his lawyers say his organs are at risk of failure.
