Dozens of protesters gathered outside the home of Defense Minister Israel Katz in Kfar Ahim last night, demanding the release of Tal Yanon Dardik, an administrative detainee who has been on hunger strike for 33 days, according to reports.
Dozens of protesters demonstrated outside the home of Defense Minister Israel Katz in Kfar Ahim overnight, calling for the release of Tal Yanon Dardik, an administrative detainee on hunger strike for 33 days. The protest, reported Friday afternoon, underscores the growing public pressure over Dardik's detention.
As The Zioneer has reported, Dardik's case has become a flashpoint in the debate over administrative detention against Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria. A hunger strike launched in July has drawn support from MKs and public figures, including an open letter from commentator Gadi Taub and a petition by 13 coalition lawmakers urging Katz to cancel the orders. The defense minister has not publicly responded to the latest protest.
No immediate comment was available from the Defense Ministry or the Prison Service regarding Dardik's condition or the administrative orders.
