After 111 days of hunger strike, Khalil Awawda suspends fast
Palestinian administrative prisoner in Israel, Khalil Awawda, 40, on Tuesday broke his hunger strike after 111 days of fasting in light of promises by the Israeli occupation authorities to free him at the end of his current confinement period, the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said.
Awawda, who has got critical health diseases due to the long hunger strike he began on March 3 in protest against his administrative imprisonment without charge or trial, was detained on December 27 of last year and was slammed with six-month administrative detention, which ends in six days.
There was worry that Israel would renew his arrest.
In addition to Awawda, married with four kids from the southern West Bank town of Idna, Raed Rayyan, 28, from Beit Daqqo village near Jerusalem, stays on hunger strike for the 76th day also urging an end to his administrative detention.
