A Palestinian prisoner who has been on hunger
strike for 89 days has denied claims by the Israel Prison Services that he had
ended his protest. "(Mahmoud) Sarsak ended his hunger strike," IPS
spokeswoman Sivan Weizman said, saying he had taken the decision to end his
fast after consulting his lawyer and the prison administration. But Sarsak's
family in Gaza, as well as the Palestinian Prisoners' Club in Ramallah, denied
that he had ended his strike. And his lawyer, Mohammed Jabarin, said he had no
comment on the Israeli claim. Al Jazeera's Nadim Baba reports from Gaza.
