The detainee was kidnapped on November 16, 2014, and received several administrative detention orders.
The PPS said the Prison Authority frequently resorts to transferring striking detainees, and forcing them in solitary confinement, in an attempt to pressure them into ending their strikes.

Adnan was moved to Kaplan medical center after suffering sharp pain in his stomach.
He held a 56-day hunger strike, protesting his continued Administrative Detention, and stopped his strike after Israel set his release date for July 12.
On July 1, detainee Nour Elayyan, from the al-Jalazonerefugee camp, near Ramallah, began a hunger strike to protest the renewal of his administrative detention.
Elayyan was arrested six months ago, and recently received a detention renewal order. http://www.imemc.org/article/72125
