Following is a translation of a request submitted by the State Attorney and
the attorney of the appellant (Khader Adnan) to the Supreme Court:

"1. This petition regards the appellant's request for an order to revoke the
administrative detention order that was issued against him, and is in force
until 8.5.12.

2. The State would like to announce – after the issue had been brought
before the Attorney General – that it agrees to offset the days in which the
appellant was detained for the purpose of a criminal investigation prior to
his administrative detention from the period of the current administrative
detention order, and also announces that as long as no new significant and
substantive material is added regarding the appellant, there is no intention
to extend the administrative detention.

Therefore, as long as no new significant and substantive material is added
regarding the appellant, his administrative detention will end on 17.4.12.

3. In light of State's foregoing announcement, the appellant states – via
his attorney – that he is halting his hunger strike effective immediately.

4. In light of the foregoing, the State and the appellant ask that the
honorable Court order that the petition be dismissed without an order
regarding costs, and that the discussion scheduled for today (Tuesday),
21.2.12, be cancelled."
