Palestinian Prisoner Dies in Israeli Detention After 86-day Hunger Strike

‘Khader Adnan has been executed in cold blood,’ the Prisoners Association in Gaza said in response

Sheikh Khader Adnan, a senior member of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank, died Tuesday after an 86-day hunger strike.

The Israel Prison Services said that Adnan was found unconscious in his cell at the Nitzan detention facility and that he was declared dead at Assaf Harofeh Hospital.

Adnan, 45, was arrested by Israeli security forces in February and charged with terror-related offences. He had been arrested several times in the past and launched hunger strikes to protest his detention.

Israel said Adnan "refused to undergo medical tests and receive medical treatment."

"Khader Adnan has been executed in cold blood," WAED Prisoners Association in Gaza said in response.

Islamic Jihad called for a general strike in Gaza and the West Bank to protest Adnan's death.

Israel accused Adnan of supporting terror, affiliation with a terror group and incitement. He had been in and out of detention and had undertaken five hunger strikes since 2004.

The case of #RezaNorouzi, the young Iranian man who became famous when he put his own car on fire during the early days of #Iran protests.

As far as I can find in government & human rights files, he was sentenced to 5 years in prison based on special court of #IRI for "disturbing peace", "call for riot" & "endangering citizens and police".

He's said to be on dry #HungerStrike in #Rajaeeshahr prison to protest against his unjustified sentence & illtreatment by prison guards.

He was removed from the prison by force and his wear about is not known.

There are roomers about him being sentenced to death and/or already hanged spreading by some dubious accounts in US and UK, but no reliable sources inside or outside #Iran know anything about it.

His life is in danger as he is entering his second week of dry hunger strike and possibly being tortured.

The following Twitter video shows him b4 he put his car on fire:
