1,200 Palestinian prisoners begin hunger strike

There are currently 10 Palestinians on hunger strike in Israeli prisons, four
of whom have been transferred to prison hospitals because of the fragile
state of their heath, the Palestinian Prisoners Club says.

Two of them, Bilal Diab, 27, and Thaer Halahla, 34, have been refusing food
for 50 days, with medics expressing concern over their deteriorating health.

All 10 are being held without charge under administrative detention orders,
which means they can be held for renewable periods of up to six months.

There are 4,699 Palestinians being held in Israeli jails, of whom 319 are in
administrative detention, the Palestinian Prisoners Club says.
