Lawyer: Halahla could die at any moment
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Prison doctors have told Thaer Halahla that he could die at any moment after 72 days on hunger strike, his lawyer Mona Neddaf said Thursday.
Neddaf visited Halahla, 33, in Ramle prison clinic on Thursday, the prisoner rights group Addameer said in a statement.
He is vomiting blood, bleeding from his gums and lips and has extremely low blood pressure, she said. His temperature is fluctuating at dangerous levels and the prison doctor said he also has an infection.
He has refused food since Feb. 29 and now weighs 55 kilograms.

Prison authorities have told the hunger strikers they must stand for a "daily count" or they will not be allowed to see their lawyers, she said.
