The detainee Khalil Awawdeh is waiting for his freedom amid questions about the constant delay of his release

on . Posted in slider

The lawyer of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Fawaz Shaloudi, after visiting him at Ramlah prison, stated that the detainee Awawdeh (40 years old) uses a wheelchair, where he had a problem in the nerves of the brain and the eyes due to the hunger strike he went through.

He entered the hunger strike in 3/3/2022 protesting against his administrative detention and suspended the strike after 111 days upon promises to limit the period of his detention and release him.

However, after suspending his strike he has been sentenced to a new administrative detention rule for 4 months .Thus, he decided to go on a hunger strike until 31/8/2022. An agreement has been made between his lawyer and the administration of prisons to set him free on 2/10/2022.

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs pointed out that the administration of prisons had got around the decision of releasing the detainee Awawdeh, claiming that they will file an indictment against him.

Awawdeh sent a letter by the Commission's lawyer, saying: (I am recovering slowly, my morale is very high and I was not affected by keeping me in prison. I'm satisfied with God's will, and if they sentenced me to the administrative detention again, I won't hesitate to enter a hunger strike. I'm 50 kg now, and I can't walk without help).

The Commission calls on the international community organisations to intervene immediately to release the detainee Awawdeh. It's worth noting that he is married and a father of 4 daughters. He is a former detainee who spent the total of 12 years, including 6 years under the administrative detention.
