Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Hana Shalabi Enters 41st Day of Hunger Strike

HeadlineMar 27, 2012

The Palestinian prisoner Hana Shalabi has entered the 41st day of her hunger strike inside an Israeli prison where she is being held without charge. On Monday, her mother accused Israeli officials of waiting for her daughter to die.

Badia Shalabi: “The Israeli court gave her the same administrative detention, nothing new. It is the same thing. They don’t have anything except for delays and delays. Until when will they continue to delay? They cannot delay when a girl has been on hunger strike for 40 days. Until when will they delay? Until she is dead? Are they waiting for her to die? We don’t want this.”
