    Awawda suspends hunger strike, snatches freedom date from the occupation

The Muhjat Al-Quds Foundation announced that prisoner Khalil Awawdeh suspended his open hunger strike after 172 days, after reaching a written agreement to set a ceiling for his administrative detention and to be released on October 2.

The Muhjat Al-Quds pointed out that "the victory of the Awawdeh in the battle of the empty stomachs and the battle of snatching his freedom, after he waged a heroic strike, is added to the record of the captive movement's victories against the policy of arbitrary administrative detention."

According to Mohjat Al-Quds, the agreement stipulates that prisoner Khalil Awawdeh be kept in Assaf Harofeh Hospital until he recovers.

The foundation also called for "the necessity of exposing the practices of the Zionist occupation against our Palestinian people before the world, as a result of the arbitrary arrests they are subjected to, under the so-called administrative detention, without any accusation."

For its part, the prisoner's lawyer told Al Mayadeen that "the Israeli military prosecution pledged not to extend the administrative detention of prisoner Awawdeh."

It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation's court once again refused to release Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawdeh, who has been on hunger strike for 171 days in protest of his administrative detention, the Waed prisoners association said Tuesday.

"This decision comes in light of the unprecedented health condition of a prisoner on hunger strike, as indications show that any complications will place him among the martyrs," Waed said in a statement.

A few days ago,the Prisoners Authority published horrific pictures of prisoner Khalil Awawdeh, who has been on hunger strike for 6 months.

His wife and father took pictures of him, exposing the truth of an ongoing “immoral and inhuman crime against him by the occupation prisons administration, and the Israeli intelligence service that insist on killing him," even if slowly, according to a statement by the Prisoners Authority.

Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawdeh told Al Mayadeen on August 20 that he was isolated in the intensive care unit in Assaf Harofeh hospital.

"I am tired. My body is collapsing, and I am cold. I am not receiving any kind of supplement. Popular support is keeping me going and serving as a tool of political pressure," Awawdeh told Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
