Consider case of Samer Issawi, detained by Israelis under no official charge, on a hunger strike of over 155 days..

Created by M.M. on January 03, 2013

Samer Issawi, previously sentenced to 30 years by Israeli Government in 2002, was released after 11 years in the Shalit Deal. Just after 8 months, he was captured again under no solid ground (administrative detainee).
To make his voice heard, he had to go under a hunger strike of more than 155 days till present. He is currently in a very critical condition due to an acute vitamin B-12 deficiency. Also, he is getting nerves and muscles problem as a result of which he lost control of his limbs. Furthermore, he is getting vision problem and is a victim of extreme torture with bruises all over the body and blood vomiting. On December 9th, he lost consciousness for 48 hours after being given "medicine". This is a clear inhuman treatment violating many of the fundamental human right.
