UN official calls for Jaradat death probe
The UN Middle East peace envoy has called for an "independent and transparent" probe into the death of a Palestinian man in an Israeli jail as anger mounts in Palestinian territories. - "The United Nations expects the autopsy to be followed by an independent and transparent investigation into the circumstances of Mr Jaradat's death, the results of which should be made public as soon as possible," Robert Serry said on Monday. Arafat Jaradat, who was arrested on February 18 on suspicion he was involved in hurling stones at Israeli troopers, died on Saturday in Magiddo prison. Israel claims that Jaradat had died of cardiac arrest, a claim Palestinians deny.
UFree: Mass Hunger Strike in Israeli Jails - Captive Movement continued its mass hunger strike for the second day in a row in the Israeli prisons protesting the murder of the prisoner Arafat Jaradat from the city of al-Khalil in the southern West Bank territories on Saturday. The prisoners decided to step up their daily protests in protest against the Israeli repressive policy and the ongoing IPS aggressions against the prisoners, through refusing meals, impeding the daily count, and delaying the return to prison. The Captive movement stressed the prisoners' determination to go on a hunger strike on April 14 to mark the Palestinian Prisoners' Day, and the first anniversary of the Dignity battle.
