RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah - 29 August 2022. Palestinian students from Birzeit University take part in a protest in solidarity with prisoner on hunger strike Khalil Awawda, in the West Bank city of Ramallah. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Muhammad al-Qiq, freed prisoner 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Osama Nakhleh is active in the student youth movement at Birzeit University. STORYLINE: After around six months of hunger strike, Palestinian administrative detainee in Israel, Khalil Awawda, 40, says he is left with nothing except bone and skin. In a video message from his hospital bed, where he is kept following a serious deterioration in his health due to the long and unprecedented period of his fast, Awawda called on the free of the world to stand b by his demand for freedom from captivity in Israel. Yesterday, human rights organizations published pictures of Awawda which showed that he had reached a critical stage as a result of his continuation of the strike, and he looked like a skeleton. The European Union expressed its shock at the pictures of Awawda, describing them as "horrible", and said he “is in imminent danger of dying,” demanding that, “Unless charged immediately, he has to be released.” Awawda, a father of four girls, and detained since December 27 of last year after which he was slammed with administrative detention for six months, resumed his hunger strike on July 2 after suspending it earlier after 111 days of strike based on promises to release him before the occupation authority has reneged on its promise and renewed his administrative detention for four more months.
