Hana al-Shalabi’s hunger strike: Listen to Ali Abunimah interview on Flashpoints

Ali Abunimah From the Editors 28 March 2012

Hana al-Shalabi has been on hunger strike since 16 February – more than 40 days – since she was seized from her home by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank village of Burqin. Hana, who previously spent more than two years in Israeli detention, has never been charged with any crime.

Dennis Bernstein spoke to Ali Abunimah on KPFA’s Flashpoints, about Hana al-Shalabi and the struggles of other Palestinian political prisoners against Israel’s systematic abuses. The segment on Hana al-Shalabi begins at exactly 15:00.
