She added: "For over a month and half since he was diagnosed with a stenosed artery in his heart and weakness in the heart muscle, the prison administration refuses he gets the heart procedure and proper treatment, as a result his health has deteriorated, and his blood sugar dropped to 50, especially after he began a hunger strike on November 13 to protest ill-treatment and deliberate medical negligence”
Similarly, former Muslim Brotherhood media spokesman Ahmad Aref, and several other political prisoners in Al 'Aqrab prison announced on November 16th they began a hunger strike to protest systematic torture they are enduring in prisons.
