Occupied Jerusalem - SANA

Palestinian prisoner Maher Al-Akhras continues his open-ended hunger strike for the 83rd day in a row, to protest the ongoing crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian prisoners in his prisons, amid extremely dangerous health conditions that threaten his life.

Wafa news agency quoted the prisoner club as saying that the mute prisoner suffers from fatigue, severe stress, pain in the joints, abdomen and stomach, and a permanent headache in addition to severe weight loss, imbalance, inability to move and losing a lot of fluids and salts. That this affects the functions of vital organs in his body such as the kidneys, liver and heart, which makes his life threatening to die suddenly at any moment.

The club pointed out that the occupation authorities refuse to release the dumb prisoner despite warnings from human rights organizations and Palestinian organizations about his severe health deterioration and their request by the international community to pressure the occupation authorities to release him.

On the fifteenth of this month, 60 Palestinian prisoners joined the open hunger strike, which was launched by the al-Akhras prisoner to protest against the occupation’s violations of their rights.

Many Palestinian cities have witnessed during the past few days vigils in support of the prisoners and the international community's demand for urgent intervention to release the mute prisoner and all the prisoners in the occupation detention centers.

About 4,500 Palestinian prisoners, including 155 children inside the occupation prisons, face harsh detention conditions, as 1,800 prisoners suffer from multiple diseases due to the spread of epidemics and germs, and among them about 700 prisoners need urgent treatment, especially cases of cancer, kidney failure and paraplegia.
