On September 17, his arrest was extended for five days by Ofer Military Court for further interrogation. He is currently being held in Etzion settlement in harsh conditions, reported Mahmoud Hassan of Addameer (http://addameer.org/), where Barghouti formerly worked as a lawyer for four years. He has eaten twice in 36 hours, was not allowed to shower, change clothes or use personal hygiene items. On September 22, his detention was extended at Ofer Military Court to a new hearing on September 24, when military prosecutors announced an indictment would be announced.
