Reports on Abu Fara and Shadeed warn of heart or brain failures

Tuesday 20-December-2016

Hunger-striking prisoners Ahmed Abu Fara and Anas Shadeed have suffered new serious health complications that could possibly lead to their death Israeli medical reports have warned.

According to Wa’ed Society for Detainees and Ex-detainees on Tuesday very recent medical reports from Assaf Harofeh hospital on the health conditions of Abu Fara and Shadeed affirm that they are likely to suffer sudden cardiac arrest or stroke.

The society for its part warned against the use of force-feeding with Abu Fara and Shadeed at this critical stage of their health saying this would lead to undesirable results and would be considered an intentional attempt to kill them.

It has appealed to all concerned international groups to intervene in the name of justice and human values which they defend to save the lives of the hunger strikers.

The prisoners have been on hunger strike since September 25 2016 in protest at their detention administratively with no indictment or trial.
