Hunger strikes by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails continue in protest against the policy of Administrative Detention, the practice of arresting and holding individuals without charging them for an indefinite period. The health of Palestinian inmate Malek al-Qadi who has been on a strike for 62 days is now in critical condition. Many other Palestinian prisoners have joined the protest action in support of Qadi.
