  Hunger striking detainee moved to hospital

October 25, 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Israeli occupation authorities on Thursday transferred the Jordanian 
detainee Heba al-Labadi to the hospital following a deterioration in her 
health condition nearly a month after she started an open-ended hunger 
strike in protest at her administrative detention, the Jordanian Foreign 
Ministry said.

The ministry spokesman Sufyan Qudah said in a press statement that Heba 
was transferred to the hospital on Thursday and provided with the 
necessary treatment before she was returned to prison on the same day.

"Heba's health condition is now stable," Qudah affirmed.

Ahmad al-Labadi, Heba's father, said in statements to Quds Press that 
his daughter, who has been on hunger strike for 31 days, is suffering 
from fatigue, dizziness and heart-related complications.

Heba al-Labadi was arrested by Israeli occupation forces on 20 August 
when she arrived with her mother at al-Karama crossing to attend a 
wedding in Nablus in the West Bank.

In the first weeks of her detention Heba was subjected to harsh 
interrogation and torture and prevented from seeing her family. About 33 
days after she was arrested, although no charge was made against her, an 
Israeli court issued a five-month administrative detention order against 
her and she was moved to Damon jail.

Israel is holding 22 Jordanian prisoners in its jails, the latest of 
whom were Heba al-Labadi and Abdulrahman Mar'i who suffers from cancer 
and needs urgent medical interventions.
