Urgent Action Needed for Political Prisoner Khader Adnan

Al-Awda, The Palestine Right To Return Coalition calls on all people of conscience to take immediate action to try to save the life of Palestinian political prisoner Khader Adnan who has been illegally detained by Israeli authorities under the guise of "administrative detention" without any charge or trial whatsoever.

To protest his ill-treatment in Israeli detention and ongoing humiliation of Palestinians who resist the illegal occupation of Palestine, and to protect his dignity and dignity of all Palestinians, Khader Adnan began a hunger strike on December 17, 2011, 59 days ago.

The Israeli kangaroo court system has systematically denied Khader Adnan's appeals to release him from prison without regard to his severe and dangerous medical condition. This has been common practice by the Israeli court system for Palestinians who courageously challenge Israel's brutal occupation.

Please join the voices and support around the world to save Khader Adnan's life and demand his immediate release from prison! Take action now!

Please write to President Obama and voice your concern and demand that the US administration intervene for the immediate release of Khader Adnan from administrative detention. You can use the online form at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments

Call US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: (202) 647-4000 or Office of Near East Affairs: (202) 647-7209. Demand that the Secretary intervene for the immediate release of Khader Adnan from administrative detention.

Organize Rallies at your local Israeli Embassies.

Help spread awareness through social media and to all your contacts as you deem fit after you take action!
