Despite health complications, Palestinian hunger striker returned to prison

The Israeli Prison Service (IPS) returned the Palestinian hunger-striker Sami Janazra to Ayla solitary confinement in Beersheba after he spent several days in Soroka Hospital.

AhlulBayt News Agency - The Israeli Prison Service (IPS) returned the Palestinian hunger-striker Sami Janazra to Ayla solitary confinement in Beersheba after he spent several days in Soroka Hospital.

Lawyer for Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) Amjed al-Najar told the PIC reporter that Sami Janazra, who has been on hunger strike for 54 days, suffered severe health complications on Monday.

Al-Najar affirmed that he was notified from Janazra’s lawyer that he had been brought back into Ayla solitary confinement after spending three days in hospital.

The lawyer pointed out that Janazra has recently been subjected to an exhausting and degrading transfer despite his serious health condition.

Janazra, a 43-year-old father of three children and a resident of al-Khalil, launched his hunger strike on March 3 protesting his administrative detention according to which he is held without charge or trial.
