In news from the Occupied Territories, Palestinian prisoner Hana Shalabi has entered her 33rd day on a hunger strike to protest her detention by the Israeli government. She is being held without charge or trial. Shalabi can reportedly no longer stand and has very low blood pressure.
Ran Cohen, executive director at Physicians for Human Rights, Israel: “The situation is of course deteriorating. According to our physician, she is suffering from muscle atrophy wasting as well as weakness, and she is losing consciousness periodically and so on.”
