Palestinian prisoner Sheikh Khader Adnan
The Palestinian Prisoners Club on Sunday held the Israeli occupation prison administration fully responsible for the life of prisoner Khader Adnan, 44, from the town of Arraba in Jenin.
Adnan continues his hunger strike for the 50th day in a row, in rejection of his arbitrary arrest amid the continued deterioration of his health condition, as he languishes in the "Ramla Prison" clinic.
In a statement, the Prisoners Club indicated that Adnan began to vomit blood, is suffering from severe pain all over his body, and is having difficulty speaking and concentrating.
Despite his difficult health condition, which is deteriorating with the passage of time, the prison administration has not spared Adnan from abuse since his arbitrary arrest on February 5, the Club pointed out.
For more than 50 days, the Israeli occupation's prison administration has refused to provide Adnan with clothes, as he is still wearing the same clothes he had on when he was arrested, the statement highlighted, adding that the prisoner has not showered since the day of his arbitrary arrest.
It is noteworthy that the prisoner Adnan was arrested 12 times, and he spent a total of about eight years in occupation detention centers, most of which were under administrative detention. During these years, he went through five previous strikes, including four strikes refusing his arbitrary administrative detention.
On Thursday, the Palestinian Ministry of Detainees and Ex-Detainees held the occupation fully accountable for the life of Sheikh Khader Adnan, calling for intensifying the support campaign in solidarity with him, in light of the occupation's procrastination to respond to his demands.
A few days ago, Adnan's wife told Al Mayadeen Net that her husband refused to undergo medical examinations. The detainee's lawyer, who visited him recently, described his health condition as "very poor".
His wife added that her husband "is freezing in a cramped insect-infected cell, with a closed window, and suffering from constant harassments and pressure aimed to stop his strike and to undergo medical examinations."
