33-year-old journalist, Mohammed al-Qiq, is on his 80th day of a hunger strike in protest against his imprisonment without charges or trial. Al-Qiq’s health has deteriorated to the point of facing imminent death.

We are making a call to the international community to sign the Avaaz petition to demand the European Parliament to free Mohammed al-Qiq and demand the European Union to suspend its Association Agreement with Israel until it complies with international law.

In addition, we call all people in the world to organize protests on the streets, in front of Israeli Embassies and Consulates, and Public Squares to demand freedom for Mohammed al-Qiq.

Daily protests have been held during the past week, across the West Bank, Gaza, occupied Jerusalem and at the  Haemek hospital in Israel, where al-Qiq is being held and has been force-fed.

Today is Mohammed al-Qiq’s 80th day of hunger strike and he is on the verge of death!

WE MUST ALL SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION AND TAKE ACTION NOW!
