>From a friend. A 205 day hunger striker... Scott
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Administrative detention" -- held indefinitely without being charged, without seeing a lawyer, without making a phone call, etc. People often just disappear in Israel and are held by the government for years without recourse. I sometimes think our government treatment of suspected terrorists has been learned from the Israelis. Habeus corpus ? -- forget it ! Protection from cruel and unusual punishment such as waterboarding ? -- forget that too. Want to see "the only democratic country in the Middle East" in action ? See Five Broken Cameras and prepare to be shocked at what your tax dollars are supporting. > Subject: [sapjc-tcpj] URGENT: Palestinian Hunger Striker Near Death > Reply-To: sapjc-t...@lists.riseup.net > > Palestinian prisoner Samer Issawi has been on a hunger strike for > 205 days to protest Israel's use of administrative detention, and he > may be on the brink of death.
