There are now 6200 Palestinian prisoners in Israels prisons. 500 of them held indefinitely without trial. 200 of them are children. There they endure il-treatment, beatings and torture. Israels army abducts an average of 10-20 men and boys a night, in their routine nightly raids of Palestinian homes across the West Bank. The collective punishment of an occupied civilian population is a war crime. A Palestinian prisoner in an Israeli jail has been on hunger strike for 24 days in a row in protest against being held without charge or trial for nearly a year... 35-year-old Raed Moussa was detained in Jenin on Nov. 29, 2013 and sentenced to six months of administrative detention. Moussas detention was then extended for four more months... The prisoner then started an open hunger strike for 34 days, until he was promised there would be no more extensions to his administrative detention. He restarted his strike in September when the Israeli Prison Service re-sentenced him for another four months of administrative detention. Moussa is now being held in solitary confinement in Ktziot prison in the Negev desert. He has spent a total of seven years in Israeli jails in separate periods.
