Khader Adnan hungers for freedom again

In the photo above, (Electronic Intifada) Khader Adnan is seen with his children after being released from an Israeli prison 3 years ago. Never accused of a crime, he has been detained for a total of 6 years since 1999 by Israeli forces. Once again, he is on a hunger stike, prepared to risk death by starvation, hoping the international community will mobilize to demand his freedom.

In 2012, Adana was on the 45th day of a hunger strike before serious protests were raised. Today is the 41st day of his solitary protest. More than 400 Palestinians share his fate: once targeted by the IDF for "administrative detention", you have no legal recourse, and Israel, with the protection of the United States, snubs it's nose at international law.

Worse yet, the Palestinian Authority has failed to press his case. Interviewed by the Electronic Intifada, Adnan's father said:

“We received messages of support from people in Aleppo who are under shelling. We received messages of support from Homs and Yarmouk refugee camp; from Ireland where they know very well what it means to starve for freedom. But we got no word whatsoever from the PA or the ministry of prisoners.”
