UN Secretary-General "Deeply Concerned" About Hunger-Striking Palestinian Prisoners

[ENGLISH.PNN.PS] UN Secretary-General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon
... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan...
expressed his deep concern over the "rapidly deteriorating condition of Paleostinian prisoners in Israeli custody who are on hunger strike," and especially the troubling case of Samer Issawi, who has been on a hunger strike now for 212 days.

According to a statement from Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday, 19 February, he has received letters from both Paleostinian President Abbas and the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States about the prisoner situation. He reportedly spoke via telephone with Israeli Prime Minister about the issue.
