London, February 10 (RHC)-- Amnesty International has warned that a prominent Palestinian journalist on hunger strike in protest against his administrative detention by Israel is facing an imminent risk of death.

The Britain-based rights group said in a statement that Muhammed al-Qiq remains under detention with no charge or trial despite his deteriorating health condition.

The Israeli regime claims Qiq has been involved in "terrorism activities" linked to Palestinian resistance group Hamas. Qiq has lost the ability to speak after over 70 days without food. He said he will continue the hunger strike until "martyrdom or freedom."

Over 600 detainees are under administrative detention, which is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows the Tel Aviv regime to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months.
