The European Union must take “immediate and concrete steps” to secure the release of a Palestinian prisoner in an Israeli jail who has been refusing food for almost nine months and is in a critical condition, a senior Palestinian official has demanded.
In a letter to Catherine Ashton, the EU foreign policy chief, Saeb Erekat said the life of Samer Issawi “hangs in the balance” and warned his death could result in serious violence and damage efforts to revive the peace process.
