Hunger strike

"Already in grave danger of death due to a hunger-strike that has now lasted 47 days, Khader Adnan, who is being held by Israel without charge or trial, has announced he will stop taking liquids. IMEMC reports:
The Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) reported Tuesday that the Israeli Prison Administration (IPA) informed Khader’s lawyer that he had decided to stop drinking liquids after he was prevented from meeting her.
The lawyer stated that the situation of Khader is gradually and dangerously deteriorating, and that the IPA informed her that it will be obliged to administer liquids even if he refuses." (thanks Farah)
