Peter Stano, the spokesman for the European Union, said that the EU is closely following the rapidly deteriorating health condition of Mr. Mahar Al-Akhrasas he continues the hunger strike since July to protest his administrative detention without formal charges in Israel. “Regardless of the allegations against Mr. Al-Akhras, the European Union reiterates its long-standing concerns about the extensive use by Israel of administrative detention without formal charges.” He also added, “around 350 Palestinians are currently being held in administrative detention. Detainees have the right to be informed about the charges underlying any detention and be subject to a fair trial.” He also called on Israel to fully respect international humanitarian law as well as its human rights obligations towards all prisoners.
