Palestinian prisoner on hunger strike, Kayed Al-Fafsous, faces a difficult health situation
Prisoner Kayed Al-Fasfus (34 years old) from the town of Dura, south of Hebron, who is on hunger strike for the 58th day in a row, against his administrative detention, faces serious health conditions, at a time when the Israeli occupation continues its obstinacy and refusal to respond to his demands.
The Prisoners' Club said in a statement today, Friday, that the occupation prison administration transferred prisoner Fasfous yesterday from the cells of Ashkelon prison to the Ramla prison clinic, after he suffered from difficult health conditions, which pose a threat to his life.
He added that the process of transferring Phosphos to the Ramla prison clinic, instead of transferring him to a (civilian) hospital, is a message that the occupation is continuing a systematic process of revenge against him.
The occupation authorities had re-arrested Al-Fafsous on May 2, 2023, and transferred him to administrative detention. He is a former prisoner who spent about (7) years in prisons.
Al-Fafsous went on a hunger strike at the end of May and the beginning of last June, which lasted for 9 days. He also went on a strike in 2021 against his administrative detention, which lasted for 131 days.
Al-Fafsous is married and the father of a daughter. He has three other brothers who are administratively detained: Khaled (35 years old), Akram (39 years old), and Hafez (40 years old). His family was also subjected to acts of abuse, as part of the crime of (collective punishment).
