Jenin – Prisoner Falah Shehadeh will be moved back to his original prison, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club said on Wednesday, just hours after he launched a hunger strike after on Wednesday in protest of the Israel's treatment.

Shehadeh has been suffering from severe abdominal pain following an endoscopy last month, and was transferred to Ashkelon Prison because of its proximity to hospital. 

Shehadeh, who has been detained since 2004, was never sent for any medical examinations, and wishes to return to Ktzi'ot Prison. 

The Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs were earlier informed of the hunger strike by Shehadeh's lawyer, Karim Ajwa, that he would undertake a hunger strike in protest.
