Palestinian prisoner Muhammad Allan, who has been on a hunger-strike for 64 days, awoke from comma Tuesday after his health significantly deteriorated, the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) said.

Lawyer Jawad Boulos, from the PPS, warned, following a visit he paid to the detainee a few days ago, of a sudden death that might rock hunger-striker Allan as his health condition has remarkably deteriorated.

The prisoner will continue his strike and refused to be deported abroad, said the lawyer.

Prisoner Allan was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces in November 2014. He had then initiated a hunger strike in the Israeli occupation jail of Negev in protest at being held administratively, with neither charge nor trial.

Last month, the Israeli Knesset legalized the procedure of force feeding if the prisoner’s life is in danger, sparking outrage among human rights activists and the Israeli medical community who defined the practice as a form of torture.

A week after the law was passed, the Israeli authorities announced that Allan may be force-fed if his health continued to deteriorate to the point in which his life was in danger.
