Jordanian captive on 18th day of hunger strike
2004-04-12
The Jordanian prisoner, Sultan Al-Ajloni, detained in Zionist jails for 13 years for killing a Zionist soldier in the early nineties in a cross border attack has entered his 18th day of strict hunger strike.
Good move. Wouldn't want him to be too porky when he departs this vale of tears. Interferes with frolicking with the doe-eyed maidens, y'know...
Palestinian sources said that Ajloni, who is currently detained in the Hadarim prison, was on strike since 25th March and refused to end his strike unless his demands were met.
Demand and be damned.
The sources noted that Ajloni, who suffers numerous diseases, has asked to meet one of the Jordanian diplomats in his country’s embassy in Tel Aviv. Lawyer of the Palestinian prisoners supporters society in Ramallah, Raed Al-Desouki, has said in press statements that he tabled a request to visit Ajloni on 6th April and was not granted permission so far. Desouki underlined that the Jordanian prisoner’s health condition could not endure a long period of such a strike in which Ajloni does not eat, drink or take medicine.
No great loss I can see. They don't tell you that part when you're signing up for jihad, do they?

#5  Here is another hunger striker that doesn't seem to be getting much press. I wonder why?

#4  If a North Korean detainee went on a hunger strike, how would anybody know?
