  Israel Agrees to Release Palestinian Prisoner on Hunger Strike

October 24, 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palestinian prisoner Ahmed Ghannam yesterday suspended his hunger strike 
after 102 days after an Israeli court set a timeframe which would bring 
an end to his administrative detention.

Ghannam, who suffers from Leukaemia, has become “nothing more than a 
skeleton” as a result of his hunger strike in protest of his continued 
detention by occupation forces.

    Palestinian prisoner Ahmed Ghannam completed his 100th day without
    food Monday, along with five other prisoners, in a protest against
    the Israeli occupation authorities. https://t.co/UD58NK0g3a

His lawyer Ashraf Abu-Sneineh wrote on Facebook:

    “The Israeli Supreme Court in Jerusalem issued today a final
    decision setting a certain time for ending the administrative
    detention of the prisoner Ahmed Ghannam.”

Before he was taken from the hospital to Ofer Prison, Ghannam asked for 
a family visit and the Israeli intelligence accepted his request.

The 42-year-old was arrested on June 18. He has previously spent nine 
years in Israeli jails. He is married and has two children.

Five other Palestinians, including Palestinian-Jordanian citizen Heba 
al-Labadi, who was arrested at Allenby Crossing, are also on hunger strike.

According to official statistics, there are 5,700 Palestinian prisoners 
inside the Israeli jails, including 48 females, 230 children and 500 
being held under administrative detention.
