Here is an article today about Samer and the other hunger strikers.
Samer Al-Issawi: indomitable in the face of death
Samer Al-Issawi: indomitable in the face of death
More issues are raised, like the need to get this case of the illegal detentions of Palestinian prisoners before the international courts.
But we have the problem of The Palestinian Authority stalling, and questions raised about where their loyalties really lie.
"Whether he survives or not, Samer Al-Issawi has placed before the free world its moral, legal and political duties toward the Palestinians in Israeli jails. They may be "disappeared", but they're not forgotten. The newly-recognised State of Palestine is no less culpable. It must take the lead by activating the 2012 Baghdad Declaration at the UN for an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on the legal status of the Palestinians in Israeli occupation jails. That should be followed by similar action within the International Criminal Court."
Sherri
Once again sherri is full of baloney, "the effects of starvation on the brain cause a lack of concentration, loss of motor skills, and increased likelihood of anxiety and depression. As the condition progresses, brain function decreases, leaving the victim in a state of fatigue or torpor. Apathy continues to increase, until the person may no longer be able to attempt to find food or survive."
Samer most likely does not know whether he is dead or alive and could care less.
