Israeli authorities return back Palestinian hunger striker Awawdeh to Ramleh prison
Occupied Palestine (QNN) – The Israeli prison administration has returned Palestinian detainee Khalil Awawdeh, who has been on hunger strike for 64 days, back to Ramleh prison after being transferred to Assaf Harofeh hospital due to a deterioration in health condition.
Detainee Awawdeh is now suffering different health problems including pains in the head and joints, exhaustion and emaciation, continued vomiting, unstable heart rates, in addition to a sharp loss of weight.
The Israeli occupation authorities refuse to end the arbitrary administrative detention imposed against him, even though there is a notable deterioration in his health condition.
A father of four children, citizen Awawdeh was detained on December 27, 2021 and put on administrative detention without charge or trial.
According to Palestinian figures, about 4,500 Palestinians, including 32 women and 160 children, are currently languishing in Israeli detention jails.
Among them, close to 540 Palestinians are currently being held under Israel’s illegal policy of administrative detention, under which prisoners can be held for renewable six-month periods without charge or trial.
