Palestinian prisoner in isolation on hunger strike: lawyer<\/strong>
\n26 February, 2012 – Agence France Presse – The Daily Star<\/p>\n

RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories: A Palestinian woman freed in a prisoner swap with Israel but later re-arrested has gone on hunger strike, a Palestinian lawyer said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Hanaa al-Shalabi has been on hunger strike since the day of her arrest on February 16, when she was ordered detained without trial for six months, said lawyer Fawaz al-Shuli who visited her in prison.<\/p>\n

“She is determined to carry on her hunger strike even though the Israeli prison authorities decided to isolate her,” he told AFP.<\/p>\n

Shalabi “is demanding the end of administrative detention (imprisonment without charge) and that the soldiers who beat her up and undressed her to carry out a body search be put on trial,” he said.<\/p>\n

Shalabi was among more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners released in October in a trade for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, held by Gaza-based militants for more than five years.<\/p>\n

Her refusal to be fed comes as Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan on Tuesday ended a 66-day hunger strike in protest at his imprisonment without charge, under a deal that will see him released in April.<\/p>\n

Shalabi, from the West Bank village of Burqin village near Jenin, spent 30 months in detention before her release last year.<\/p>\n

The Israeli army said she was “a global jihad-affiliated operative” and was re-arrested on suspicion that she “posed a threat to the area.”<\/p>\n

The Palestinian Prisoners Club says she is one of five inmates freed in the October swap who have since been re-arrested.<\/p>\n

Adnan’s protest, the longest hunger strike carried out by any Palestinian prisoner, attracted international attention and threw a spotlight on Israel’s use of administrative detention, a military procedure which allows suspects to be held without charge indefinitely.
