Family of the hunger-striking detainee Khader Adnan, starving since 23 days in protest at being held administratively, with neither charge nor trial, at Israeli jails, sounded alarm bells over the sharp deterioration in the detainee’s health status.
Adnan’s family said in a statement their son, isolated in the solitary lock-downs of criminal prisoners in al-Ramla jail, came out to meet his lawyer on a wheelchair after his physical condition has remarkably gone down due to the hunger-strike he has initiated since 23 uninterrupted days.
The Israeli prison authorities stipulated that Adnan meets his lawyer or any human rights delegate only shackled hand and feet, with no sympathy, whatsoever, for his exacerbated health status.
Such restrictions make part of a larger psycho-physical torture tactic aimed at dashing the detainee’s hopes, forcing him to throw in the towel, and thwarting his ongoing “battle of empty of stomach,” the family added.
Adnan’s relatives also raised concerns that the prisoner’s case would take a turn for the worse due to Israeli preplanned camouflage of latest updates on his situation.
The statement urged human rights institutions to pay an urgent visit to Adnan and the other Palestinian sick detainees so as to keep tabs on the current state of affairs and urge the Israeli occupation to unshackle the detainees before it is too late.
“Our son Adnan is engaged in a personal fight. He does not long for food as long as he does freedom, honor, and dignity,” they said. “His starved stomach speaks up for all the detainees held at the Israeli occupation prisons.”
“We are quite aware that this is never an easy battle. Perseverance is just harder than triumph itself,” the added.
Earlier a letter leaked from jail by prisoner Adnan read: “Allah has created us free. Either we live so or else we’d better die.”
37-year-old Palestinian detainee Khader Adnan Musa has been on an open-ended hunger-strike for the 23rd day running in protest at being held administratively, with neither charge nor trial, at the Israeli occupation jails.
Adnan was arrested near Jenin in July during an Israeli arrest campaign across the West Bank. He is one of many former prisoners re-arrested and incarcerated for unclear reasons.

Adnan’s relatives also raised concerns that the prisoner’s case would take a turn for the worse due to Israeli preplanned camouflage of latest updates on his situation.
The statement urged human rights institutions to pay an urgent visit to Adnan and the other Palestinian sick detainees so as to keep tabs on the current state of affairs and urge the Israeli occupation to unshackle the detainees before it is too late.
“Our son Adnan is engaged in a personal fight. He does not long for food as long as he does freedom, honor, and dignity,” they said. “His starved stomach speaks up for all the detainees held at the Israeli occupation prisons.”
“We are quite aware that this is never an easy battle. Perseverance is just harder than triumph itself,” the added.
Earlier a letter leaked from jail by prisoner Adnan read: “Allah has created us free. Either we live so or else we’d better die.”
37-year-old Palestinian detainee Khader Adnan Musa has been on an open-ended hunger-strike for the 23rd day running in protest at being held administratively, with neither charge nor trial, at the Israeli occupation jails.
Adnan was arrested near Jenin in July during an Israeli arrest campaign across the West Bank. He is one of many former prisoners re-arrested and incarcerated for unclear reasons.
Palestinian prisoner Hazem Meslemani has complained that his jailers in Megiddo prison persistently deprive him of seeing his family during visit times.
20-years-old Meslemani said in a leaked letter that Megiddo jailers recently detained his family members for two hours in the visit area without allowing them to see him.
He added that the jailers still ban his sister Bisan, 18, from visiting him for security claims.
