uin	HL5991
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/02/2016 answer text <p>While we have not made any representations on this specific case, officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv are following this case and those of the other hunger strikers closely and have spoken to Amnesty International about them. Officials from our Consulate General in Jerusalem maintain a dialogue with the relevant Palestinian organisations about the condition of the hunger strikers. The EU in Jerusalem recently issued a local statement on administrative detentions, including the case of Mr Al Qeeq. We have been informed that Mr al-Qeeq is in a stable condition and has not been forced-fed as alleged.</p><p> </p><p>We remain concerned about Israel’s extensive use of administrative detention which, according to international law, should be used only when security makes this absolutely necessary rather than as routine practice, and as a preventive rather than a punitive measure.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/02/2016 15:08:30 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
