This is Part 1 of our Palestinian political prisoners episode. We hear from former Palestinian political prisoners, Khader Adnan and Qadura Fares, as we try to understand the physical and psychological impacts of hunger strikes, as well as their use in achieving political aims and preserving basic dignity under Israeli incarceration. We will also speak with Dr. Malaka Shwaikh, lecturer at University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Dr. Malaka has done extensive research with Palestinian political prisoners.
