RAMALLAH,
February 13, 2012 (WAFA) – At least 15 Palestinians were injured on
Monday when Israeli soldiers used force to disperse protesters who were
demonstrating outside Ofer military camp, near Ramallah, in solidarity
with Khader Adnan, a prisoner on hunger strike for 58 days.
Israeli soldiers
attacked the protesters, mainly university students, with sound grenades and gas
bombs when they arrived at the fence separating Ramallah from
the military camp, which also includes a prison.
One Palestinian was
shot in the head with a rubber bullet while others suffered suffocation
as a result of the heavy bombardment of gas grenades.
Adnan, a leader from
the Islamic Jihad, has been on a hunger strike for 58 days in a row
protesting his detention without charge or trial.
He was arrested in mid-December and later sentenced to four months in
administrative detention.
Palestinians are
worried he might die as a result of the hunger strike, the longest ever
in the history of prisoners. Adnan has already lost over 40 kilograms
and has been in-and-out of hospital for the last three weeks.
