Khader Adnan—news about and action request: URGENT!

NOVANEWS 

The latest update is from one of his lawyers, Tamar Peleg-Sryck, who informs us that the judge who heard his appeal yesterday will write his decision only next week after the “protocol will be typed and delivered to him.”  We are not talking here about a person who has a lifetime ahead, and can wait for a decision weeks or months.  Khader Adnan is in danger of imminent death!  We must write and phone and try to save his life.  Of this more later in this note.  Here is what Tamar wrote.

 

Hi Dorothy

Yesterday’ February 9′ we the lawyers  and Khader in a wheel chair attended the appeal against the decision  of the first instant judge to approve of the 4 month’s administrative detention order. The appeal  proceedings took place in Sieff hospital in Safad where Khader  is presently hospitalized. He was represented by 6 lawyers including myself. The protocol  will be typed and delivered to the judge only  “next  week” as we were told by him  and  afterwards he will write his decision.  The authorities take their time  regardless of Khader’s precarious  situation following over 50 day’s hunger strike. It should be understood: his life is in imminent danger.

This is the time to protest and demand his release from administrative detention.

It should be made clear that he is alleged of  political opinions and political activities  – without a hint of  any sort of violence. However the army’ following  Shabak’  claim that he “endangers the security” and should remain in detention .

 

If you have any questions’ please  write.

 

Tamar
