Samer Issawi, age 33, from the village of Issawiya on the outskirts of Jerusalem, was released from Israeli prison as part of Shalit deal, but was arrested a few months ago on suspicion of violating terms of release. Samer is being held in administrative detention, without trial, and indefinitely, while the state seeks to sentence him his previous conviction of thirty years. As a protest of his illegal arrest, Issawi started a hunger strike, that lasts over 200 days. His life is in danger.
