An Israeli military court on Sunday rejected the appeal of Palestinian detainee Hanaa Shalabi who has been on hunger strike for 39 days

An Israeli military court on Sunday rejected the appeal of Palestinian detainee Hanaa Shalabi who has been on hunger strike for 39 days, her lawyer told AFP.
 
Shalabi was appealing a four-month administrative detention order allowing her to be held without charge. "The Israeli military court rejected the appeal and now we will go to the High Court," Jawad Bulus said. "Hanaa will continue her hunger strike."
  
Shalabi, who was detained on February 16, has been on hunger strike since her arrest to protest both her detention without charge and violence she says was inflicted during her arrest.
  
On Friday, rights group Amnesty International said the Israeli authorities should immediately release Shalabi or charge her with a recognizable criminal offence and promptly try her amid fears that the woman could die in detention.
  
She was hospitalized on March 19, after 33 days without food, with doctors saying she had lost 14 kilos (31 pounds) and her pulse was "feeble." Shalabi was among more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners released in October in exchange for Israeli occupation soldier Gilad Shalit.
