The Commission stated that the detainee, Emad al-Batran, 47, from Hebron city in southern West Bank, is currently at the Ramla prison clinic, which lacks specialists and basic supplies.

It added that al-Batran was slapped with the first administrative detention order on January 27th, 2020, which was renewed four times since.

On January 21, 2021, he was slapped with another four-month order, holding him captive without charges or trial.

Al-Batran suffers from various health conditions, including in his arteries, joints, and muscles, and has recently started vomiting blood. He is only drinking water, and not taking any medications.
