Hundreds of people rallied across the West Bank and Gaza on Thursday to support an imprisoned Palestinian woman who is on hunger strike to protest her detention by the Israeli government. Hana Shalabi is on the 23rd day of refusing to eat since her arrest last month. She is being held without charge or trial. The rallies were held to coincide with International Women’s Day. Palestinian lawmaker Hanan Ashrawi called Shalabi a symbol of Palestinian resistance.

Hanan Ashrawi: “The women’s movement, in general, all formal and informal parties, see Hana Shalabi, a prisoner held without any evidence or trial, as a symbol of Palestinian resistance, an extraordinary symbol of the spirit of Palestinian women.”
