Palestinian detainee in Israel ends 19-day hunger strike after reaching deal to end his solitary confinement

RAMALLAH, Palestinian administrative detainee in Israel, Sabea al-Titi, ended today his hunger strike which lasted for 19 days after reaching an agreement with the Israeli Prison Service ending his solitary confinement within a few days, today said the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission.

Titi, a resident of Balata refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, was detained on April 10 and slammed with administrative detention for six months.

Three days before the end of his term, the occupation authorities renewed it for six more months.

Titi was placed under solidarity confinement for more than one month and banned from family visits and buying from the canteen.

He started a hunger strike 19 days ago to protest his solitary confinement, and has been suffering from dizziness, joint pain, headaches, and loss of weight as a result of the hunger strike, said the prisoners’ commission.

His sister, Aseel, was arrested by the occupation forces on October 2 while she was visiting her brother in Rimon prison.
