Palestinian propaganda site IMEMC News reports on prisoner Ahmad Abdul-Karim Ghannam, complaining that his health is deteriorating.
Which can happen, funnily enough, when you supposedly have cancer and “serious disorders of the immune system”, yet decide it is a good idea to be on a hunger strike, for what is now over 10 weeks.
The Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies has warned that a hunger striking detainee, held by Israel, is facing very serious health condition in the Ramla Hospital, after 56 days of the hunger strike.
The center stated that the detainee, Ahmad Abdul-Karim Ghannam, 42, from Doura town near the southern West Bank city of Hebron, is held under arbitrary Administrative Detention orders, without charges or trial, including an order which was recently issued, holding him captive for two and a half months.
It added that the detainee was previously treated for Leukemia and serious disorders with his immune system, and that there are immediate concerns those conditions could reemerge.
His brother, Nasser Ghannam, said that the army moved his brother to a hospital after 31 consecutive days of the hunger strike, and added that he was scheduled to undergo a marrow transplant surgery before he was taken prisoner.
Typical chutzpah for the palestinians to complain about a prisoner’s health when the prisoner himself is endangering it. The next step is to complain about Israeli medical negligence if he dies.
For the record, I am highly skeptical of their claims. If you recall, fellow prisoner and terrorist Bassam Al-Sayeh was also supposedly suffering from cancer and other ailments when he endangered his health by refusing to take his medications.
By the way, his hunger strike reached 72 days yesterday. Seems like an appropriate number.
