Administrative detention, an offense against humanity For more than 60 consecutive days, Palestinian administrative detainees have been on hunger strike. We recently received news from the jails that the prisoners are now refusing water, the essential ingredient of life without which death is inevitable. About 100 of the hunger strikers are currently in hospital and Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, has ordered that they should be force-fed, which is a form of torture that violates international conventions. The administrative detainee Ayman Itbeish, who is from the Dura town in Al-Khalil city, has been on hunger strike for 116 days.
