Lawyer Khaled Zabarqa said on Monday that the captive journalist Mohammed al-Qiq is now under intensive treatment after he ended his 33-day hunger strike.
Qiq ended his hunger strike last Friday after the Israeli prosecution told the military court that there is no intention to renew Qiq’s administrative detention which ends on 14th April 2017 the same date of his release.
Zabarqa added that Qiq is currently held at Assaf Harofeh hospital in the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories under intensive treatment where he is given hot drinks and supplements to recover.
Zabarqa pointed out that the Israel Prison Service informed the hospital that it intends to return Qiq to Ramleh prison clinic but doctors categorically refused and stressed that he still needs to complete the treatment in the hospital for a period of time.
Mohammed al-Qiq fainted twice during the past week due to his hunger strike and suffered many complications including vomiting yellow substance and coughing blood as well as severe dizziness chronic headache and general weakness.
