Adnan died in the early morning on Tuesday in an Israeli prison after 87 days of hunger strike.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday reacted to the martyrdom of Adnan in a statement, stressing it further depicts the righteousness of Palestinian resistance.
“The way this Palestinian citizen was arrested and the inhumane treatment he received from the Zionist regime is a clear example of the inhumane and violent behaviour that the regime has used against the Palestinian nation and fighters for over seven decades in an organised and widespread manner, and constitutes a crime against humanity,” Kana'ani stated.
“The silence of the global community and human rights organisations will lead to the increasing audacity of the apartheid Zionist regime,” the spokesperson added.
Adnan, 44, had refused to eat for 87 days to protest against his detention without charge, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society. He had gone on hunger strike several times after previous arrests, including a 55-day strike in 2015 to protest his arrest under so-called administrative detention, in which suspects are held indefinitely by Israel without charge or trial.
Palestinian authorities and resistance groups have mourned the murder of Adnan at the Israeli jail, holding Tel Aviv fully responsible for its crime.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has described the death of Adnan as a “deliberate assassination”, saying, “… by rejecting his request for his release, neglecting him medically and keeping him in his cell, despite the seriousness of his health condition."
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has also held the Israeli regime fully responsible for the incident and called for an international investigation into Adnan’s death.
It demanded an international investigation into the circumstances and details surrounding his death, emphasizing it will submit the file to the International Criminal Court.
Palestinians have staged a general strike in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday following the death of Adnan.
According to a new report by Palestinian rights advocacy groups, Israel is keeping about 4,900 Palestinians prisoners, including women and children, behind bars. The report added that there are more than 1,000 administrative detainees, including children and women, among Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israeli jails.
The number of prisoners who have been sentenced to life imprisonment stands at 554.
It noted that Israeli authorities are developing their methods of abuse against Palestinian prisoners in order to undermine their resolve to struggle for their rights. Israeli jail authorities keep Palestinian prisoners under deplorable conditions without proper hygienic standards, and they have also been subject to systematic torture, harassment, and repression.
Palestinian detainees have continuously resorted to open-ended hunger strike in an attempt to express outrage at their detention.
The Israeli regime is estimated to have detained over one million Palestinians since the Nakba (Catastrophe) Day in 1948, which marked the loss of the Palestinian homeland.
Iran describes Israel as the root cause of the region’s instability and insecurity, but also stresses Israel's US-supported barbarity will not change the inevitable fate of the Tel Aviv regime.
Tehran says the history of the apartheid regime is full of assassinations, massacre, torture and killing of Palestinian kids, and described Tel Aviv regime's atrocities and massacre of Palestinian women and children as indicative of the destitute of Zionists. Iranian officials say the Tel Aviv regime has been struggling for more than 70 years to exit its identity crisis which has been mixed with genocide, plunder, forced displacement and scores of other inhumane moves.
