The office of “Lawyers for Justice” has warned that the health condition of political detainee Alaa al-Basheer has seriously deteriorated as a result of her hunger strike

Basheer has been on hunger strike for eight days in protest at her detention illegally by the Palestinian Authority preventive security.

Lawyer Dafer as-Sa’ayda said that Basheer suffers from convulsions, poor vision, fatigue and physical weakness.

The Palestinian Authority preventive security agency rearrested Alaa al-Basheer, a holy Qur’an teacher from Qalqilya, two days after releasing her on June 13. She had spent over one month in her first detention.

The preventive security has fabricated accusations against Basheer in order to justify her detention. She is accused of inciting sectarian strife, one of the claims usually used by the PA security agencies against political detainees.
