The Israeli Military Court decided to hold a session on Thursday at the Safad Hospital where the hunger-striking ailing detainee Adnan Khader is hospitalized, and facing seriously deteriorating health conditions.
Head of the Legal Unit at the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS), Lawyer Jawad Boulos, stated that the decision was made after deliberations were held to prevent moving the detainee to the Ofer Military Court due to the seriousness of his health condition.
Boulos added that a specialist at the hospital sent a letter to the Ofer Court stating that Khader is rejecting all medications and examinations, and that his health condition is very serious. more
The physician added that moving the detainee from his hospital bed will lead to further complications.
Khader, from the northern West Bank city of Jenin, started his hunger strike on December 18, one day after he was arrested by the army. He has not faced charges, and decided to strike to protest his illegal imprisonment.
