BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- An Israeli military court refused an appeal by long-term hunger-strikers Thaer Halahla and Bilal Diyab to end their detention without charge, prisoners groups said Monday.
Muhjat al-Quds society for the defense of prisoners said Ofer military court rejected the appeal against the prisoners administrative detention, on the 56th day of their hunger-strike.
Lawyer Jamil Khatib will now take their petitions to Israel's Supreme Court, Addameer Director Sahar Francis told Ma'an. The Sunday rulings show the negotiations to end the prisoners' hunger strike have failed, as they refused Israel's suggestion to deport them to Gaza, she added. more
