The Israeli occupation forces have transferred the prisoner Khalil Awawda, on the 100th day of his hunger strike, to Asaf Harofeh hospital from Ramleh prison after a serious deterioration in his health condition.
Today marks his 101st day of a hunger strike to protest his administrative detention in Israel, without trial or charge.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) in a statement on Friday said that the prison administration had throughout the past refused to transfer him permanently to the hospital.
They also bargained with him in exchange for the transfer, to accept the treatment imposed by the hospital, knowing that the refusal of treatment and medical examinations are the most prominent tools of the detainee in the battle of the strike.
The prisoner, Khalil Awawda, from the town of Idna in Hebron, is married and the father of four daughters: Tulane, Lauren, Maria and Maryam, the oldest of whom is 9 years old.
