Khatib's family confirmed that they had received a massage from his lawyer stating that he had gone on hunger strike.
The journalist Ahmad Khatib was detained by the Palestinian Authority security apparatuses last week, and then his detention was extended for 15 days. He is now in the Palestinian intelligence prison in Ramallah.
