Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan has died in an Israeli prison following an 87-day hunger strike. ​

Ramallah, May 2 (RHC)-- Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan has died in an Israeli prison following an 87-day hunger strike. 

Adnan began refusing food in February to protest his arrest under Israel’s so-called administrative detention program, the policy of holding Palestinians without charge for up to years at a time. 

Human rights groups say Israel is holding more than 1,000 Palestinians prisoner under the policy.
