UN chief says Gaza blockade-busting flotilla not helpful. By Joshua Davidovich. Red Cross fears for Islamic Jihad detainee on hunger strike. Adnan had been held for a year under administrative detention, which allows imprisonment without charge for renewable periods of six months indefinitely. Of the 5, Palestinian prisoners currently held by Israel, are detained under the procedure. His hunger strike, which had brought him near death by the time it concluded last month, had sparked warnings from the Palestinian government that it held Israel responsible for his fate.
Regular protests were organised in support of him. Adnan ended his hunger strike on 28 June after Israel agreed to release him, at which point he was transferred to an Israeli hospital. An Israeli official said at the time that the deal was made possible by Adnan withdrawing his demand that Israel undertake never again to place him under administrative detention. He was detained a year ago, shortly after the kidnapping and murder of three young Israelis, in response to which Israeli soldiers arrested hundreds of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
