Hana Shalabi Ends Hunger Strike
Palestinian political prisoner Hana Shalabi, 30, ended her 43-day hunger strike against being held in Israeli administrative detention without trial or charges. She was exiled to the Gaza Strip from her home in Burqin, Jenin for three years by Israel, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and following Israel's denial of her access to legal counsel and medical advice. Her strike followed shortly after that of Khader Adnan, who was freed after a 66-day hunger strike in protest of Israel's policy of administrative detention.
