The head of the Palestinian Detainees Committee Issa Qaraqe has reported, Thursday, that the health condition of Mohammad 'Allan is still considered serious, but is gradually improving, and that Allan is not a prisoner anymore.
Qaraqe' said 'Allan needs an extended medical treatment, as his health condition is considered serious following 65 days of hunger strike, and that he still requires a lengthy period of medical treatment, yet his health is slowly, and gradually, improving.
The Palestinian official also stated that 'Allan is not a prisoner anymore, and will be heading back home once he concludes his medical treatment.
Allan's mother thanked every Palestinian, every person around the world, who stood in solidarity with her son, as he fought his unjust and illegal imprisonment, by conducting an open-ended hunger strike, risking his life to fight for freedom.

Hunger-striking prisoner Mohammad Allan, on Thursday, regained consciousness following a medically induced coma day earlier, a lawyer from the Palestinian Authority's Committee for Prisoner's Affairs told Maan News Agency.
Karim Ajwa said that Allan, 31, awoke from a medically induced coma and is currently in critical condition in the ICU at Barzilai Medical Center.
Ajwa added that Allan's condition had improved slightly, but that his life remains in severe danger.
Doctors at Barzilai have decided to keep Allan in the ICU for several days because he requires intensive treatment in order for his health not to deteriorate further.
"Now he's awake. He's very weak," Dr. Chezy Levy, the director of Barzilai hospital, told journalists. "He started to speak with those next to him."
AFP further reports that Allan ended a two-month hunger strike Thursday that had put his life at risk and sparked intense debate over his detention without trial by Israeli authorities, his lawyer said.
"Mohammad Allan regained consciousness and is not on hunger strike," Jamil al-Khatib told journalists of his 31-year-old client, after Israel's top court late Wednesday temporarily lifted his detention without trial.
Khatib spoke after visiting Allan in hospital in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon and said his health was improving, though he remained bedridden.
He was receiving vitamins and minerals intravenously.
"He is in a good health condition and can communicate with others," Khatib said. "He can't eat food in his mouth because it needs a while. Now he is drinking water and it will be gradual, and I imagine this will be next week."
The Islamic Jihad group says that Allan, a lawyer from the West Bank, is a member of the Palestinian movement, as does Israel.
He has been held since November in a form of internment without trial known as administrative detention, which was temporarily lifted by Wednesday's High Court ruling.
However, the court said he must remain in hospital pending a final decision on his case. The ruling left open the question of what would happen if or when his health improves.
Allan's administrative detention was initially ordered by Israeli officials who claimed that he constituted a threat to security and was an activist in the Islamic Jihad group, according to prisoners' rights group Addameer.
Islamic Jihad -- along with the majority of Palestinian political organizations -- is illegal according to Israeli military law.
In response to the move, Allan reportedly related to his attorney: "Administrative detention returns us to slavery, and therefore I refuse to be a slave to anyone."
"The truth is that I currently prefer hunger as long as freedom is the goal in the absence of law in Israeli courts. So, I found myself forced to fight this battle," he said at the time.
The end to Allan's strike comes after Israeli authorities set forth previous offers in exchange for him to end his campaign.
The authorities proposed to extend his administrative detention only by two additional years or end his detention if he moved from the country, both offers the detainee reportedly rejected.

Israeli forces arrest a Palestinian protester who was trying to reach tractors working on the construction of Israel's controversial wall in the Cremisan Valley
Palestinian Christians clashed with Israeli border police near Bethlehem Wednesday after dozens of demonstrators, including priests, gathered to protest renewed work on Israel's controversial separation wall in the Christian majority town of Beit Jala.
An AFP journalist said the protesters, who were joined by a few foreign activists, gathered in Beit Jala to protest building a stretch of the wall, which started Monday, after years of legal battles. The three Roman Catholic priests tried to pray among olive trees that bulldozers and mechanical diggers were seeking to uproot but were stopped by police.
One demonstrator was arrested as he tried to plant an olive sapling in front of the excavators. Police wrestled with protesters who chanted, "Israel is a terrorist state. It doesn't scare us."
Israel began building the separation wall with concrete walls, fences and barbed-wire inside the occupied West Bank in 2002 at the height of the second Palestinian Intifada, claiming the barrier was crucial for security.
The International Court of Justice ruled in 2004 that construction of the barrier was illegal and, like the UN General Assembly, demanded that it be dismantled.
Palestinians, who refer to its as the "apartheid wall," say the barrier is a land grab, pointing out that when complete, 85 percent of it will have been built inside the West Bank. The wall has already completely cut off East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank.
The Applied Research Institute in Jerusalem says the wall will annex around 13 percent of the total area of the West Bank.
There has been fierce opposition from the local Palestinian Christian community, which has enlisted papal support, regarding the area of the wall that approaches Beit Jala and the adjacent Cremisan Valley.
The case grabbed special attention when the wall was slated to separate Cremisan monastery from the neighboring convent and vineyards. It would have also separated Palestinians in the nearby Christian village of Beit Jala from their olive groves.
Israel's High Court ruled in April that the work must stop and told the government to consider alternative routes. But, in a new decision on July 6, the court said work could go ahead, ruling that the previous ban referred only to an area of a few hundred meters(yards) alongside the monastery and the convent.
The people of Beit Jala were surprised Monday when Israeli bulldozers started uprooting olive trees east of the convent and monastery. They are protesting against the confiscation of their land and the fragmentation of their lives and also fear that the path of the wall may herald expansion of the nearby Israeli settlements of Gilo and Har Gilo.
Settlements in occupied territory are illegal in the eyes of the international community. The network of towering concrete walls, barbed-wire fences, trenches and closed military roads will extend 712 kilometers(442 miles) when finished, separating the West Bank from Israel.

Israeli forces detained at least 18 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank overnight, Israeli and Palestinian sources told Ma'an.
An Israeli spokesperson said two Palestinians were detained near Tulkarem, three in Nablus, two in Ramallah, four near Bethlehem and four near Hebron.
The spokesperson said all were detained for "illegal activity."
Palestinian sources identified one of the men detained in Nablus as Amjad Abdul-Salam Hanani, 25. According to sources, Hanani was detained after Israeli forces raided his home in Beit Dajan village west of Nablus. Hanani was reportedly taken to Huwwara military site south of Nablus.
In addition, a Popular Resistance Committee Coordinator Murad Shtewihe said that occupation forces also detained three young Palestinian men from Kufr Qaddum west of Qalqiliya, after ransacking their homes early Thursday morning.
Shtewihe said that the Israeli troops raided Kufr Qaddum over night and detained Muhammad Nidal,18, Muhammad Shtewe, 20, and Sari Sameer, 17. He added that the forces gave 14-year-old Subhi Mansur, as well as Akil Shtewe, 26, official orders to meet with Israeli intelligence.
Israeli forces also raided several other houses in the Kufr Qaddum, two of which belonged to men identified as Shakir Shtewe and Mahmoud Ghazi.
Israeli forces routinely detain Palestinians throughout the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, often on the pretext of perceived security threats, and Addameer estimates that 40 percent of the Palestinian male population has been arrested at some point. Nearly 6,000 Palestinian prisoners are currently being held in Israeli jails.

Palestinian hunger striker Muhammed Allan was in a medically induced coma on Thursday, Palestinian Authority officials and doctors said, a day after Israel lifted his administrative detention order due to his medical condition.
A Barzilai hospital spokeswoman said doctors placed the 31-year-old in a coma due to his deteriorating condition on Wednesday before a court ruling temporarily ended his administrative detention, meaning he would not be aware of the decision.
The PA Committee for Prisoners' Affairs said that Allan has re-entered a coma and is in critical condition, without providing further details. Israel's High Court late Wednesday temporarily ended Muhammed Allan's administrative detention, but ordered him to remain in hospital pending a final decision on his case, which has sparked intense debate among both Israelis and Palestinians.
He was said to be suffering brain damage, apparently due to a vitamin deficiency caused by his hunger strike. It was unclear whether the damage was permanent.
The hunger striker regained consciousness on Tuesday after being in a coma more than four days. Over the past week, Allan has refused several offers put forward by Israel in return for an end to his hunger strike.
Allan's lawyer Jamil al-Khatib told Ma'an Saturday that Allan refused an Israeli offer to continue his administrative detention for a period of two years.
Additionally, Israeli authorities on Monday had offered to free Allan if he leaves the country, which was rejected outright by his lawyer. Around 400 Palestinians are now held in administrative detention, and detainees have regularly gone on hunger strike to protest.

The imprisoned Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Ahmed Saadat affirmed that the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) agreed to meet some of the prisoners’ demands after their escalatory protest steps.
After his visit to Nafha prison, the Palestinian Prisoners Society’s lawyer quoted Saadat as stating that the IPS agreed to allow brothers and sisters’ visits to Gaza prisoners who lost their parents, to allow prisoners’ children visits without permits, and to provide waiting rooms in Ohli Kedar and Ramla prisons with air condition.
Early this month, nearly 150 Palestinian prisoners declared hunger strike calling for ending the IPS transfer policy, stopping night raids to their rooms, allowing family visits, ending solitary confinement of some prisoners, ending punitive measures, improving detention conditions in prison hospital, and improving detention conditions of female prisoners.

Barzilai Medical Center tests showed that captive Mohammed Allan suffered brain damage due to over two months of agonizing hunger striking, Palestinian Prisoner Society’s lawyer, Qaddoura Fares, revealed. Instead of releasing him, the Israeli Supreme Court only suspended his detention.
Fares pointed out, in a statement on Wednesday, that the detention of Mohammed Allan was temporarily suspended after MRI scan showed brain injury following hunger strike over detention policy.
Doctors treating the Palestinian lawyer Allan, who has been on hunger strike for 65 days in an Israeli prison, say he suffered brain damage, prompting Israel’s Supreme Court to temporarily suspend his detention.
An MRI scan was ordered for Mohammed Allan after a lawyer told the Supreme Court hearing that Allan should be released immediately.
Instead, the Israeli Supreme Court, after considering the new medical evidence, on Wednesday night, temporarily suspended his detention without charge, and ruled that he could apply again for release if and when his condition improves.
The Israeli prosecution had earlier said it would consider releasing Allan immediately if he was found to have irreversible brain damage.
“Allan’s condition is dangerous and there could be a rapid deterioration,” said Dr. Hezi Levy, one of the physicians treating him, earlier on Tuesday.
Allan, 33, went on hunger strike in protest against administrative detention which allows Israeli authorities to hold Palestinian prisoners for months without charges.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society charged that suspending the detention of striker Allan circumvents Allan’s hunger strike and aims to evade from the right ruling which is his immediate release.
The society opined that the court’s ruling is a collusion by the Supreme Court with the Israeli security and political authorities. “We believe that the ruling aims at re-arresting Allan in case it was proved he did not suffer a permanent disability due to his hunger strike”, the society said.

Israeli courts on Wednesday issued different administrative detention orders against 14 Palestinian prisoners.
The prisoners received administrative prison orders extending between two to six months, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society.
Seven of the detainees were administratively detained for the first time, while the others were given extensions to their previous prison terms. All of them are jailed with no indictment or due process.

High Court announces decision after MRI scan shows Mohammed Allaan has suffered damage, but unclear whether it is reversible; state earlier told High Court he would be immediately released if he suffered irreversible damage.
Israel's High Court on Wednesday evening announced it was temporarily ending the administrative detention of hunger-striking Palestinian Mohammed Allaan.
Hours earlier, Barzilai Medical Center said Allaan had suffered brain damage, after Israel told the High Court of Justice would immediately release him if he had irreversible brain damage.
It was unclear whether the damage was reversible.
"Allaan's condition is dangerous and there could be a rapid deterioration," said Dr. Hezi Levy.
Allaan's attorney, Sawsan Zaher of the Adalah Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, said there was no doubt that damage had occurred, and that it would take weeks or months for Allaan to return to his normal self.
State Attorney Yochi Gansin told the High Court that release was conditional on a medical examination proving that he suffered damage that would not allow him to return to the activity for which he was detained. The examination was performed on Wednesday afternoon and the results of MRI were released shortly after.
According to reports from Barzilai Medical Center, where Allaan has been undergoing treatment, the condition of the Islamic Jihad operative remains critical. He was conscious and breathing on his own, but was receiving fluids intravenously and essential medications to keep his body functioning.
The High Court discussion discussed Allaan's medical condition behind closed doors. Allaan's attorneys claimed they had received a proposal from the state to release him on November 3, when the administrative order expires. They said they had told Allaan of this possibility, but he had not yet responded.
The hospital said that Allaan's condition was worsening on Wednesday, more than two months after he stopped eating. According to the hospital, he exhibited confusion and difficulty communicating with his surroundings.
