On June 21, Addameer headlined "Urgent: Hunger striker's administrative detention order renewed in violation of recent agreement," saying:
Addameer lawyer Fares Ziad confirmed that Hassan Safadi "re-launched his hunger strike and is currently being held in solitary punishment."
He's likely being beaten and punished other ways. Israel's gulag matches the world's worst in harshness.
Safadi refused food for 71 days before ingesting food. He risked his life for justice. It brought him more pain.
He was promised release. Instead, Israel ordered his lawless administrative detention extended another six months. Indefinite renewals may follow.
He's uncharged and untried. He committed no crimes. He's held for political reasons like thousands of other Palestinians.
While on strike, he "was subjected to severe ill-treatment by Israeli prison authorities...."
He was restrained and forcefully injected with unknown substances. Doing so violates fundamental medical ethics.
