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
