ISSAWI UPDATE :

Shireen Issawi, the sister of Palestinian detainee Samer Issawi who is on a months-long hunger strike against his imprisonment by the Israeli occupation forces, reported on Wednesday that her brother had successfully thwarted Israeli attempts to coerce him to end his hunger strike.

He is required to keep his restraints on even when using the bathroom, Bulous said, adding that keeping him tied to the bed is inhumane and undignified.

The lawyer said that when he visited Issawi's room he found seven Israeli prison officers eating food to deliberately torment Issawi.
