Islam Times – A protest rally was held in front of the International Committee of the Red Cross office in al-Bireh, central West Bank, in support of Hana Shalabi, who has been on a hunger strike for almost two weeks. She was released in a prisoner swap deal between Hamas and Israel in October last year, but was re-arrested by the Israeli forces on 16 February.
According to a legal representative of Shalabi, Israeli prison service of Hasharon prison has placed Hana in a solitary confinement as a punishment for her hunger strike and has refused to give her any medical examinations since she began her strike.
Hana was previously detained and placed for around 30 months in administrative detention. According to Israeli law, such prisoners can be held without charge indefinitely. She was released during the first phase of the Hamas-led prisoner swap deal, whereby 1027 Palestinian prisoners were freed from Israeli jails in exchange for a captured Israeli soldier.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society 15 Palestinians who were freed in this prisoner swap have been re-arrested by Israeli forces.
Hana Shalabi, who went on hunger strike just like another Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan, is one of the hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held indefinitely in Israeli jails without trial or charge.
