author Thursday December 27, 2007 06:56author by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC News Report this post to the editors

Detainee Nour Al Hashlamoon started an open ended hunger strike on December 18 after the Ofer Israeli military court renewed her administrative detention for the sixth consecutive time without any charges pressed against her.

Al Hashlamoon was kidnapped by the Israeli army on September 16 2006, and no charges were ever pressed against her since then.

 She is a mother of six children and is suffered from a kidney disease. Her husband, Mohammad, has also been under administrative detention since June 19, 2006.

Al Hashlamoon appealed human rights and legal groups to intervene for her release and the release of her husband, especially since she was never charged or convicted.

There are more than 10.000 detainees imprisoned by Israel, among them hundreds of women, children and elderly. Dozens of detainees has been imprisoned since more than 20 years. At least 173 detainees died of torture and medical negligence since 1967.
