Tel Aviv (dpa) – An Israeli military court rejected Monday an appeal from a Palestinian who has been on hunger strike to protest his detention in Israel without trial, a Palestinian prisoner support group said. The court ruled that Khader Adnan must serve his full term, which ends on May 8, the Adameer Prisoner Support Association said. Adnan, a senior leader of the militant Islamic Jihad organization, has been on a hunger strike for 58 days, to protest his continued detention. Adnan was held in mid-December and placed under administrative detention, a measure which allows the authorities to detain people deemed a security risk for six months or longer. His ongoing hunger strike is thought to be the longest-ever by a Palestinian prisoner in Israel.
