Prisoners center says detainee on hunger strike for 32 days

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian prisoners research group said Wednesday a detainee from Jenin has been on hunger strike for 32 days and is suffering from worsening health conditions.

Khader Adnan Mousa, 33, was detained on Dec. 17 in connection with his membership of Islamic Jihad.

Mousa told the prisoners research center that Israel's decision to send him to administrative detention was intended to strip him of dignity, "which is more valuable than food and water."

Rafaat Hamdouna, the director of the center, called for intervention in the case.
