Israel’s “administrative detention” policy and the Plight of Palestinians on Hunger Strike
Addressing the dire plight of nearly 200 Palestinians in Israeli jails on hunger strike (for over 50 days), protesting against their detention without charge or trial under Israel’s “administrative detention” policy.

This is a call to the international community to give voice to the voiceless and victims of human rights abuses in Israeli jails.

Clare Short – Secretary of State for International Development, 1997- 2003.
Sir Gerald Kaufman – Member of Parliament
Toby Cadman – International Criminal Law Specialist.
Victoria Brittain – British journalist; author of Hidden Lives, Hidden Deaths and Death of Dignity.

Mohammed Jamil – Director, Arab Organisation for Human Rights (UK)
