Ayman’s mother denounced the international silence and the inaction of the human rights institutions regarding the issue of hunger striking prisoners and the case of her son, whose health has seriously deteriorated, noting that Ayman is subjected to a slow death in the Israeli jails and that he lost sight in one of his eyes and suffers from kidney failure.

She has appreciated and thanked the masses, from the different factions, for their support and solidarity with her ​​and her son, through organizing various events and activities.

“I went on hunger strike with Ayman once before,” the mother said, “when he renewed his hunger strike, for not being released, I decided to go on hunger strike once again and I will not eat, until the release of my son.”

The prisoner’s mother appealed through the PIC to all officials in Fatah and Hamas and all the human rights organizations to intervene to save the life of Ayman.

She also called on the prisoners in the occupation jails to unite their efforts in confronting the Israeli jailer.

Sharawna’s mother has been on hunger strike since February 16 in solidarity with her son, who has refused food since last July. She was hospitalized in Aliya hospital, after she collapsed at a solidarity tent near her home on February 17.
