The international commission to support Palestinian Rights “ICSPR” follows with great concern the violations and torments of the prisoners that are escalating inside the prisons of the Israeli occupation and its arbitrary measures against the Palestinian prisoners and detainees, especially against the hunger strikers, sick prisoners and the elderly, especially the hunger striker Khalil Awawdeh (40) years old from the town of Idna Occupied Hebron District, who is still continuing his open hunger strike for the 152nd consecutive day, in refusal to his arbitrary administrative detention, as he is still being held in Ramleh prison, and the occupation authorities are still refusing to release him and transfer him to the hospital to receive health services and follow up on his health despite the severe deterioration of his health condition.

With the continuation of the prisoner’s strike, Khalil Awawda, and the continued refusal of the occupation to transfer him to the hospital, even though his health condition has reached the level of extreme danger, and his life is in serious danger and threatened with death at any moment.
