Five Palestinian prisoners go ahead with their hunger strike in protest against Israeli policy of administrative detention, as one of them, Kayed Fasfous, has been facing threat of sudden death.
Fasfous, who has been on hunger strike for 126 days, is nearing sudden death and has been developing symptoms suggesting a clot in his blood, warned doctors at the Israeli Barzilai Medical Center, where the Palestinian administrative detainee is being treated.
Israeli High Court of Justice denied on Tuesday an appeal to release the hunger striker, who is from the southern West Bank town of Dura.
Fasfous, 34, has been on hunger strike to demand an end of his indefinite administrative detention without charge or trial by the Israeli occupation authorities.
He is a former prisoner and went on a hunger strike in 2019, Palestinian media reported.
Four other Palestinian detainees have been going on a hunger strike. They include: Alaa Aaraj (102 days), Hesham Abu Hawwash (93 days), Ayyad Hureimi (56 days), and Loay Al-Ashkar (38 days).
