Compassion and Loss in Palestine

Day 59 of Palestinian Khader Adnan`s Hunger Strike

I don't know how to make you care about a dying Palestinian prisoner in his 59th day of hunger strike...

(FREIBURG, Germany) - Khader Adnan is entering his 59th day of hunger strike to protest his "administrative detention" (meaning they imprison him without even charging him with anything).
