Free Samer Issawi Samer Issawi, 33, has been detained without charge for more than seven months by Israeli authorities. He was released from prison in October 2011 as a part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap and detained again without charge on July 7, 2012. Issawi has been on hunger strike since August 2012 to protest his detention. He is now in critical condition: losing his vision, vomiting blood and lapsing in and out of consciousness. http://www.facebook.com/events/224195164390966/ GLOBAL CALL IN DAY TO FREE SAMER ISSAWI!
