AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– The Palestinian prisoner Sami Janazra, from Fawar refugee camp in al-Khalil, entered on Monday his 68th day of hunger strike in protest against his administrative detention.  Janazra’s family warned of his serious health deterioration as he started suffering frequent fainting and became unable to move or to walk. The family called for activating their son’s issue on local and international forums, appealing for his immediate and unconditional release. Along the same line, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) revealed on Monday that the Palestinian prisoner Adib Mafarjeh, who is on hunger strike for 36 days in protest against his administrative detention, started vomiting blood. Mafarjeh, who is currently held in Gilbao prison amid very difficult detention conditions, refused to take water and vitamins or to conduct any medical tests, the PPS underlined. Mafarjeh is being held in a cell that has a dirty and foul smell since his arrest in December 2014, according to the rights group. About 700 Palestinians are held in administrative detention in Israeli jails without charge or trial.
