An Israeli military court rejects appeal for release of Khalil Awawdeh, whose health is deteriorating as he continues a 165-day hunger strike.
An Israeli military court rejected an appeal for release by a Palestinian prisoner whose health is deteriorating as he continues a 165-day hunger strike to protest being held without charge or trial.
Khalil Awawdeh is one of several Palestinian detainees who have gone on prolonged hunger strikes over the years in protest of so-called ‘administrative detention’.
Awawdeh’s lawyer Haddad confirmed on Monday(15th) that the military court rejected his appeal for release. He has not eaten during the strike, except for a 10-day period in which he received vitamin injections, according to his family.
Israeli forces arrested the 40-year-old father of four in December, accusing him of being a member of an armed group – an accusation that Awawdeh’s lawyer Ahlam Haddad said her client denies.
