The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission Friday said that its attorney Fawaz Shaludi had visited Maher al-Akhras, who has been transferred to Kaplan hospital in Israel after going on a hunger strike for 68 consecutive days, and confirmed that al-Akhras was in a very worrying health condition.

The detainee Al-Akhras confirmed to Shaludi that he was “continuing this battle till the final chapter, which is ending his administrative detention and releasing him or dying.”

Shaludi stated that al-Akhras was not taking nutrients, except for water, and was suffering from constant headache, severe fatigue, weight loss, and constant ear buzzing, and could not get off the bed, even to go to the toilet, due to severe pains in his body.

Al-Akhras, 49, a father of six children, was detained four times before. He was first detained in 1989, when he spent seven months in detention, for the second time in 2004, when he spent two years in detention and once again in 2009 when he was held for 16 months in administrative detention, and another time in 2018 when he spent 11 months in detention.

He was recently detained on July 27, 2020, and has been sentenced to four months in administrative detention without charge or trial.
