The Palestinian Prisoners Club announced today that striking prisoner Sheikh Khader Adnan has reached a very life-threatening stage of his hunger strike, which has now been ongoing for 71 days, and is at risk of martyrdom at any moment.

On its part, the Wa'ed Prisoners Association contended that Sheikh Adnan's illness and potential martyrdom would be a crime on the hands of the Zionist regime and warned of repercussions.

"The occupation's denial of basic human rights [for Adnan] and curbing media attention is dangerously concerning in light of his deteriorating health condition." the Association said. 

The association also called for support and solidarity with Adnan to expose the arbitrary and maliciousness of his detention by the occupation. 

IOF forces arrested Sheikh Adnan back on February 5, after raiding his house in the town of Arraba, south of Jenin.
