Palestinian prisoner affairs minister announced that Palestinian detainee Hanaa Shalabi has agreed to end her 43-day hunger strike against Israeli detention aggressive policies
Palestinian prisoner affairs minister announced Thursday that Palestinian detainee Hanaa Shalabi has agreed to end her 43-day hunger strike against Israeli detention aggressive policies.
“Hanaa Shalabi agreed to end her hunger strike following an agreement with Israeli authorities under which she will be exiled to the Gaza Strip,” Issa Qaraqaa told AFP.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club, which tracks detainees in Israeli jails, said Shalabi, a 30-year-old from the West Bank, would have to stay three years in Gaza.
Qaraqaa and the prisoners' group both condemned the "deportation" of Shalabi. "She had to accept because Israel put pressure on her. But we are totally opposed to all deportation measures," said the minister. "We accept Hanaa Shalabi's choice, but deportation can in no way constitute a solution," the Palestinian Prisoners' Club said in a statement.
