Palestinian detainee Maher al-Akhras said he will continue his hunger strike and the demand for his immediate release.
The hunger-striking detainee rejected a verbal suggestion by the “Israeli” entity’s prosecutor to transfer him to the al-Maqased Hospital in occupied al-Quds [Jerusalem], provided that his administrative detention would not be renewed and he would be released at the end of November [11/26/2020].
According to a statement released by the Prisoners and Executives Affairs Authority, the “Israeli” entity is trying to bypass al-Akhras’ battle, which he aims to continue with an open-ended hunger-strike.
It further demanded an end to the Palestinian hunger striker’s arbitrary administrative detention and called for his immediate release to his home in Jenin.
Hence, the Prisoners and Executives Affairs Authority pointed to al-Akhras’ worrying health condition which is deteriorating by the day, as he continues his hunger strike for the 85th consecutive day.
Al-Akhras, according to the Prisoners and Executives Affairs Authority, suffers from a state of severe fatigue and is unable to move; his sense of hearing and speech had also been affected; he suffers from seizures of severe pain in various parts of his body, blurred vision and severe headache, amid fears of injury to one of his vital organs.
Maher Al-Akhras [49 years old] was arrested by the “Israeli” occupation authorities on July 27, 2020, and was transferred to administrative detention for four months. He declared a hunger strike from day one of his arrest as a refusal of the administrative detention.
Two months after the hunger strike, the “Israeli” entity’s Supreme Court froze the decision of administrative detention without al-Akhras’ release, which was rejected by the detainee. He consequently announced that his strike would continue until he attains victory via his release or martyrdom.
