Jailed Palestinian professor Dr. Sami al-Arian has been transferred to a prison medical facility on the ninth day of a hunger strike. Al-Arian has lost twenty-three pounds this week. He had been scheduled to be released on April 7th, but the Justice Department has just requested he testify before a third grand jury, a move that could potentially keep the former Florida professor behind bars.
