An-Najah News -  Palestinian hunger striker, Maher al-Akhras, who has been on a 78-day long fast protesting his administrative detention rejected a deal from the Israeli High Court.

The Israeli High Court recommended al-Akhras release from prison in return for ending his hunger strike. 

Al-Akhras rejected his release by November 26 instead of ruling in favor of his release as requested by his lawyer in the petition submitted to the Court and was rejected today.

As a result, and according to his lawyer, al-Akhras decided to continue with his hunger strike until there is a definite and clear position from the High Court setting a specific date for his release and not only a recommendation.
