ARRABE, JENIN, February 21, 2012 (WAFA) – Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan agreed Tuesday to end his 66-day long hunger strike in return for his release on April 17, according to Adnan’s lawyer Jawad Boulus.
He told a press conference in Arrabe, Adnan’s home town near Jenin, that a deal was reached with the Israeli state prosecutor in which Adnan will end his strike and will be released on April 17, exactly four months after his arrest.
Boulus said Adnan will end his hunger strike at 7:00 Tuesday evening.
He said he will follow on Adnan’s health to make sure he receives proper treatment in prison as he completes his remaining two months in detention after his health had deteriorated following more than two months of hunger strike.
Adnan demanded that the announcement of the deal be made in his home town, which stood by him during his ordeal in prison.
Adnan, 33, was arrested on December 17 without charge or trial and then placed in administrative detention for four months.
Boulus said Adnan went on hunger strike in protest against the treatment he got in prison.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
