RAMALLAH (Ma’an) — Palestinian prisoner Muhammad Allan, who has been on hunger strike for two months, lost consciousness Friday morning, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said.
The society said that Allan’s health had dangerously deteriorated overnight, and that the hunger striker entered a coma after severe shivering.
They added that he is currently connected to ventilators.
Israeli authorities previously said they would make use of a controversial new law to force feed Allan if his health became critical.
However, Usama al-Saadi, a Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset, told Ma’an: “Allan might be a martyr in hours as his health condition is very critical.”
Shortly after the announcement, the Israeli Prison Service declared a state of alert across Israeli jails, closing all sections and preventing prayers.
Issa Qaraqe, the head of the Palestinian Authority Prisoners’ Committee, told Ma’an that the Israeli Prison Service had imposed a complete curfew in Israel’s Ramon, Nafha, Negev and Eshel jails.
Allan, a lawyer from southern Nablus, has been held without trial or charge since November.
According to his lawyer, Allan has been on hunger strike at least 60 days in protest against his administrative detention. (...)

11 août 2015 - En grève de la faim depuis 56 jours, Mohammad Allan (30 ans) est avocat, de la région de Nablus et membre du mouvement du Jihad islamique en Palestine. Il est « détenu administratif », ce qui signifie qu’aucune charge ne pèse contre lui, sinon un dossier secret concocté par les autorités sécuritaires sionistes, qu’il n’a pas le droit de consulter, ni d’ailleurs ses avocats. C’est ainsi que l’entité coloniale tente de briser toute volonté de résistance à l’occupation, en emprisonnant tout Palestinien considéré gênant pour le maintien de son pouvoir colonial sur la Palestine. Mohammad Allan a décidé d’entamer la grève de la faim lors du renouvellement de sa détention, il y a 56 jours, décidée par un tribunal militaire sur la base d’informations « secrètes » (...).
