#Palestinian hunger-striker Khader Adnan reunited with his children. Beautiful.
Today, April 17th, is #Palestinian prisoner day. Today will mark the beginning of a hunger strike by 1600 Palestinians who are currently been held in horrific conditions in #Israel -i prisons.
Palestinians clash with Israeli forces at the entrance of #Ofer Prison in West Bank in support of a fellow prisoner who has ended on February 21, 2012 a 66-day hunger strike over his detention without charge under a deal that will see him released in April.

These are the ten brave #Irish men that died from hunger-strike in 1981 - #HungerStrike63Days
#Palestinian children stand in solidarity with #KhaderAdnan who is currently on his 63rd day of hunger-strike.
This is what someone looks like after 50+ days of hunger striking (currently on 57th day) This is #KhaderAdnan - remember his face. Remember his plight. He is protesting against #Israel 's use of administrative detention. He is imprisoned with no justification. He could die any moment now.
