Palestine: Medical sources warn of Issawi’s “sudden death”

plf10Medical sources have warned of a serious deterioration of hunger striker Samer Issawi’s health condition that could lead to his “sudden death”.

The Palestinian prisoner’s society said in a statement on Monday that doctors at the Israeli Kaplan hospital told the society that Issawi’s health condition was worsening by the hour, adding that his heart beat had reached 28 per minute and level of sugar in his blood only 65.

It pointed out that doctors have repeatedly warned of rapid deterioration of Issawi’s health and said that he should end his strike immediately. Issawi had been on hunger strike for 247 days.

Doctors said that Issawi was suffering breathing difficulty, constant dizziness, in addition to pains all over his body.

For his part, the Jerusalemite detainee said in a message sent via his lawyer that occupation was in “real bankruptcy” as evident in its repeated attempt to force him end his strike.

Issawi said that he would not bow to occupation’s pressures and would continue in his hunger strike until his demands are met.
