LONDON, (PIC)– The London-based Arab organization for human rights accused the European Union and the UN of not doing their best to have hunger striker Samer Issawi released from Israeli jails, and held them responsible for his life.
The Arab organization sent a strongly-worded message in this regard to European foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and others.
“Israel has strong ties with the European Union and enjoys privileges outweighing those given to the [EU] member states, so if the EU wants to get Samer Issawi released, it has all means of pressures to do so,” the organization stated in its letter.
“Israel is also a member of the UN and supposed to abide by its charter, but due to the UN’s impotence, it persisted in its violations against the Palestinians, and the best example is what is happening to Samer and his fellow hunger strikers,” it added.
The Arab organization for human rights warned these parties that the health condition of hunger striker Samer Issawi had already reached a life-threatening stage and his heart rate is getting lower because of his hunger strike for more than 260 days.
