Translater by -- Baraa Abu Azzam
The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs
Commission on Sunday, warned of the dangerous health condition of the
40-year-old prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash, who continues his open hunger strike in
the Zionist occupation prisons for the 139th consecutive day.
The media spokesman
for the Prisoners Authority, Hassan Abd Rabbo, said in a statement that the
prisoner Abu Hawash has entered the stage of extreme danger, and is in an
intermittent coma as a result of his hunger strike, and his health is
deteriorating significantly, and he suffers from weak eyesight and inability to
speak, in addition to problems in his speech and Myocardial infarction and
muscle atrophy, in light of clear warnings by doctors that he may enter a
critical stage at any time. He warned
against doctors forcibly feeding the prisoner Abu Hawash, especially after
preventing his wife from staying with him on the pretext that he was in an
intermittent coma. The authority held the occupation fully responsible for the
life of the prisoner Abu Hawash, calling on the International Committee of the
Red Cross and all human rights and humanitarian institutions to assume their
responsibilities in saving him and not leaving him to die in this cruel
way. Abed Rabbo stressed that efforts
are continuing at the official Palestinian and international levels through the
Commissioner for Human Rights, the Red Cross Committee and Arab Knesset members,
to save the prisoner's life.
