The Commission explained, in a press statement, quoting the Commission’s lawyer, Karim Ajwa, who visited him in Ashkelon prison, that the prisoner Al-Fafsous, from the town of Dura in the Hebron Governorate, lost approximately 30 kilograms of weight, and complains of severe pain throughout his body, especially the back and joints. He can barely walk, in addition to suffering from severe headaches and general emaciation, in addition to his condition getting worse day after day.

He had gone on a hunger strike for (131 days) against his administrative detention in 2021. He is married and the father of a daughter, and he has four brothers in prisons. Occupation.
