The Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association (Ad-Dameer) said that it is deeply concerned regarding the lives of Palestinian detainees who are conducting extended hunger strikes in Israeli prisons, especially due to sharp deterioration in their health conditions.
Ad-Dameer lawyer, Fares Zayyad, visited on Monday December 3, detainees Ayman Sharawna and Samer Al-Esaawy, but was not allowed to visit detainee Odai Al-Keelani who started his strike 45 days ago.
Detainee Al-Esaawy, from Jerusalem, who was released under the Shalit Prisoner Swap Deal, and was rearrested by Israel. He started his hunger strike 126 days ago, and informed the lawyer that he will not end his strike “until he is free or until he receives martyrdom”.
He is in a critical condition and was hospitalized last week after suffering low heart rates, before he was moved back to the Ramla Prison Clinic that lacks basic equipment and supplies.
He then suffered another setback, and was moved to the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit after his heartbeat rates reached as low as 36/minute.
He initially rejected any medical treatment, but was informed that he will be forced to receive treatment; he then took certain medications and on Thursday, November 29, was moved back to the Ramla Prison Clinic. more
