Notes

1 Even if the state does not recognize prisoners as Prisoners of War (POWs) covered by the third Geneva Convention, minimum standards of treatment for all prisoners were articulated in the United Nations’ Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (1957), and have also been upheld in human rights case law (see Kudla v. Poland, § 94, European Court of Human Rights, 2000).

2 For a helpful timeline of Palestinian hunger strikes, see Tahhan’s “Timeline of Palestinian mass hunger strikes in Israel,” in Al-Jazeera (Tahhan 2017).

3 The five deaths from force-feeding included Abdel Qader Abu Elfahm (Ashkelon Prison, 1970), Rasem Abu Elhalawah and Ali Jaafari (Nafha Prison, 1980), Mahmoud Fritkh (Junaid Prison, 1984) and Hussein Nemr Obaidat (Ashkelon Prison, 1992).
