<p>RAMALLAH (Ma’an) &#8212; The Palestinian prisoner&#8217;s society said Sunday that hunger-striking Islamic Jihad leader Khader Adnan has been transferred to hospital by Israeli authorities.</p>
<p>Adnan&#8217;s lawyer said in a statement that the Islamic Jihad leader was in a serious condition.</p>
<p>The lawyer said he was only allowed to speak with Adnan, who was handcuffed, for a few minutes. His health is deteriorating rapidly and he has been vomiting repeatedly, the lawyer added.</p>
<p>Qadura Fares, head of the prisoner&#8217;s society, said that he feared for Adnan&#8217;s life and called for intervention to save him.</p>
<p>A protest will be held on Tuesday and lawyers will boycott Israeli military courts in support of Adnan and to highlight the silence of the international community towards his plight.</p>
<p>Adnan applauded the work of the prisoner&#8217;s society in highlighting his cause, his lawyer said.</p>
<p>Islamic Jihad-affiliated inmates started a three-day hunger strike last Thursday to show solidarity with Sheikh Khader Adnan.</p>
<p>On Friday, minister of prisoners affairs Issa Qaraqe said detainees in Israeli jails launched a disobedience campaign to support Adnan, returning food, and refusing outdoor breaks and medical treatment.</p>
<p>The prisoners have threatened to start an open hunger strike if Israeli prison authorities do not meet the demands of Adnan&#8217;s protest, which began 50 days earlier, he said.</p>
<p>The Jihad leader, who was detained from his Jenin-district home on Dec. 17, is protesting his treatment by Israeli prison authorities and the practice of detention without charge.</p>
<p>On Jan. 8, Israel issued an administrative order to extend his detention for four months without trial or charge. Adnan is appealing the order, and appeared at a hearing in Ofer military court on Wednesday in a wheelchair, but a verdict has yet to be given.</p>
<p>There are currently 280 prisoners in administrative detention &#8212; without charge &#8212; in Israeli jails.</p>
