28 February, 2012 – Lebanon Now

Hezbollah issued a statement on Tuesday commending Hanaa al-Shalabi, a Palestinian imprisoned in Israel, who has been on hunger strike since her arrest on February 16.

“The [hunger strike is a] battle led by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails against the brutality of [their detainment] and its unfairness,” the statement said.

It also added that that Shalabi’s step “proves the failure of the enemy to [subdue] the Palestinian prisoners.”

Hanaa al-Shalabi was freed in a prisoner swap with Israel but later re-arrested.

Shalabi is demanding the end of her administrative detention and for the soldiers who beat her up and undressed her to be put on trial.
