Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — A high-profile Palestinian prisoner died in Israeli custody on Tuesday after a hunger strike of nearly three months… ‘We lay the responsibility for his death at the feet of the Israeli authorities,’ said Dana Moss, from the rights group.
‘Hunger strikes are one of the few nonviolent tools left to Palestinians as they battle against Israel’s unfair legal system, set within a context of long-term occupation and a regime of apartheid.’”
Context added by this archive
The same headline and second line in a second paper, with the photograph of his widow speaking, and the word apartheid inside a quotation from an Israeli rights group.
