⭕ Khaled Awawdeh suffers from serious health complications as an outcome of his prolonged hunger strike which led to nerve damage & the inability to walk.
“The biggest fear is that Khalil will lose the ability to walk and he might need to adapt to a life in a wheelchair,”
Khalil Awawdeh went on a hunger strike, which began last March and lasted for 172 days, against the policy of unlawful administrative detention.
After an initial 111 days, he suspended his hunger strike based on promises of his release, but the occupation broke its promise –
and issued a new administrative detention order for 4 months against him, which prompted him to resume his strike in July 2022.
Khalil spent a total of 12 years in the occupation prisons, including 6 years in administrative detention.
On Monday, Khalil's court was postponed as he couldn't attend the court session due to his inability to walk & their refusal to transport him by ambulance!
According to his family, the occupation intelligence completely prevented his wife and family from visiting him in prison.
