REPUBLICAN NETWORK FOR UNITY (RNU) Prisoners’ Spokesman, CIARAN CUNNINGHAM has called for the immediate release of Palestinian POW, Khader Adnan.

Mr Cunningham said; ‘Khader Adnan has been on Hunger Strike since the 17th of December in protest at his detention without trial by the Israeli Government, a regime that ignores international human rights accords.

RNU congratulate Palestinian lawyers for their boycott of Israeli military courts. We send our solidarity to Khader Adan in his epic battle. How long will the world look on as the people of Palestine are subjected to this onslaught from the Zionist regime?

A member of the Physicians for Human Rights-Israel who has had a visit with Khader Adnan, said he was under a very direct threat of death.

As Khader Adnan's condition deteriorates at an alarming rate, RNU call for his immediate release. Internment without trial is wrong. Allowing a Political Prisoner to die on Hunger Strike will be an affront to humanity’.
