Israeli regime's authorities, under pressure, released Palestinian Khader Adnan, who had gone on a hunger strike for 55 days to put an end to his without charges and trial incarceration.
Leading figure in the Islamic Jihad political party Adnan, who launched on an indefinite hunger strike on April 6, was detained by Israeli regime forces at his home in Arrabeh, in the northern West Bank last July and was held under a notorious military violence known as "administrative detention" that allows the regime to hold captives for an indefinite period. The inhuman process also allows for arrest based on secret evidence, and there is no requirement to charge the detainees or to allow them to stand trial.
Ten times, Adnan had been placed in detention by Israeli regime without charge. He has spent six years in Israeli jails under administrative detention.
As 37-year-old Adnan, father of six who worked as a baker, has gained international attention for two lengthy hunger strikes while under Israeli regime detention, one for 66 days in 2013 and another for recent 55 days, his lawyer Jawad Boulos announced that that Israeli regime had pledged to never detain him again under the guidelines of administrative detention.
After Human Rights groups, including the Red Cross, expressed their concern over possible death of adnan, Israeli regime had no choice but to release him.
According to the Ramallah-based Addameer Prisoner Support Network, there were 426 administrative detainees in Israeli regime's prisons, among which are 8 Palestinian Legislative Council Members.
Addameer in its recently published quarterly newsletter also adds that "From the beginning of January to the beginning of March, the number of child prisoners went from 152 to 182, signifying a marked increase in child detention".
