Palestinian officials are demanding an international inquiry into the death of a Palestinian prisoner who collapsed while being interrogated in an Israeli prison on Saturday.
Arafat Jaradat, 30, died in Megiddo prison on Saturday, five days after he was arrested on suspicion of throwing stones at Israeli forces last year.
Israeli officials said Mr Jaradat died of a sudden heart attack while under interrogation, two days after he was examined by prison doctors and found to be in good health.
They invited his family and Palestinian officials to attend an autopsy today, prior to his burial in his home village of Si’ir.
Israel is holding nearly 5,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 178 under extended administrative detention without trial.
Four prisoners are currently on hunger strike.
