Rights groups continue to sound alarm bells over the deteriorating health condition of Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan who has been on an open-ended hunger strike for 29 consecutive days to protest his arbitrary detention in Israeli jails.

According to Muhjat al-Quds Foundation prisoner Khader Adnan has declared his an open-ended hunger strike some 29 days ago in response to being held arbitrarily in Israeli dungeons.

Muhjat al-Quds group called on the international community and human rights institutions namely the Red Cross to urgently intervene and pressurize the Israeli occupation to release Adnan among other Palestinian detainees arbitrarily held in its lock-ups.

Muhjat al-Quds railed against Israel’s torture tactics including bans of visits by family members and attorneys perpetrated against the hunger striker in contravention of international laws and treaties.

The foundation said Adnan’s health status has gone downhill as a result of the hunger strike and preplanned medical neglect by the Israeli prison authorities.

52-year-old Palestinian detainee Rizq Abd al-Rajoub has been on an open-ended hunger strike for eight days running to protest an Israeli court rule to sentence him administratively without indictment.

According to a statement by the Palestine Prisoners Center for Studies prisoner Rajoub a native of al-Khalil’s southern town of Dura in the southern occupied West Bank resumed his hunger strike on February 4.

Sometime earlier Rajoub suspended a hunger strike that lasted for 25 days after the Israeli prison authorities promised to end his administrative sentence and release him following a questioning.

However the occupation authorities reneged on the promise and confirmed Rajoub’s administrative sentence for six months which made him resume his hunger strike despite his deteriorating health conditions.

Human rights groups have expressed deep concern over Rajoub’s health conditions saying he has been enduring severe stomachaches and pains in his colon and gallbladder.

Prior to his detention the detainee had undergone several surgeries. He is also diagnosed with Vitiligo a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. Recently the Israeli prison service transferred him to the Ramla prison clinic following a sudden health setback.

Israeli occupation forces arrested prisoner Rajoub on November 27 2017 and seized a car of his own four months after they had seized another two of his cars.

Prisoner Rajoub had been locked up for a total of 23 years in Israeli jails including 10 years in administrative detention with neither charge nor trial.
