AhlulBayt News Agency - The Israeli Ofer military court on Thursday turned down the appeals filed by hunger-striking Palestinian detainee Sami Janazra during a court hearing to renew his administrative detention.
Head of the Legal Unit in the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) lawyer Jawad Boulos said in a press statement he will file an appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court against Janazra’s administrative detention.
43-year-old Janazra, arrested on November 15, has been on an open ended-hunger strike since March 3 in protest at his administrative detention, with neither charge nor trial.
Al-Janazra has been held for a total of seven years in Israeli occupation jails.
PPS also raised alarm bells over the remarkable deterioration in Janazra’s health status as he has lost 16 kgs of his overall weight and suffers from hypotension.
