Serious Deterioration In Prisoner Mohamed Arouri’s Health

Ahrar Center for Prisoners Studies and Human Rights warned of the deterioration of prisoner Mohamed al Arouri’s health after being on a hunger strike since 12 April and after refusing to take medications for Thalassaemia, to protest the administrative detention against him.

Fouad Khuffash, director of Ahrar Center, stated that the health of prisoner Arouri, who insists on continuing his strike until being released, is very critical and that because of his dangerous condition he should be released immediately in order to receive the necessary medical treatment.

Khuffash appealed to international institutions and human rights organizations to intervene immediately and urgently for the release of prisoner Arouri, and for an end to administrative detention.

Arouri, 27 years old, was arrested in April 2011 and has been deprived of family visits, and even from those of Red Cross and World Health Organization doctors' visits to check on his health.

On 005 April the occupation authorities extended the administrative detention of Arouri for the third time in a row without any charge, which made him go on hunger strike and stop taking his medication.
