Palestinian hunger striker Allaan wakes up
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian hunger striker unconscious since the weekend wakes up from a medically induced coma and his condition is stabilized, doctors treating him say Tuesday.
Mohammed Allaan has refused food for 63 days to protest his incarceration in Israeli administrative detention, which allows the state to hold prisoners indefinitely as a preventative security measure when intelligence suggests they are involved in terror activities.
He was previously described as near death before doctors at Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon treated him with an infusion of liquids and salts.
