Pressure mounts on Israel to free hungerstriking Palestinian detainee on verge of death
JVL Introduction
Maher Al-Akhras, a Palestinian man of 49 who has been detained repeatedly by Israel, is at death’s door.
Join the letter-writing campaign to the Israeli Defense Minister and to politicians everywhere demanding his immediate release.
Administrative detention orders are in violation of the Geneva conventions but such orders are used routinely and systematically by Israel.
They are indefinitely renewable, and they are used to goal Palestinians for years at a time.
There are currently approximately 350 Palestinians goaled without charge or trial under administrative detention among a total of 4,400 Palestinian political prisoners.

Thank you JVL for bringing our attention to the illegal detention of Palestinians resisting the occupation of the West Bank by the Israeli Apartheid regime. Release all the political prisoners! Support the right of Palestinians to fight for their self-determination! Stop turning a “blind eye” to the injustice of the occupation!
