OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: An Israeli military court on Monday rejected an appeal by a Palestinian prisoner who has been on hunger strike for more than eight weeks over his detention without charge, his lawyer Jawad Bulus said.

"The judge at the military appeals court rejected the appeal and approved the administrative detention order," Bulus told AFP, saying that his client Khader Adnan was still refusing food after 58 days.
