Jail mother British-Mis activist Ala Abd al-Fatah There is a danger of “sudden death” due to his ongoing hunger strike, doctors have warned, as his blood sugar levels have reduced so much that he can no longer know.
Laila Soif, 69, was admitted to the hospital on Friday after starting a full hunger strike, which she started for the first time in September last year.
Ms. is on hunger strike for Soueif 244 days and 36 kg is lost – more than 40 percent of his bodyweight – To campaign for the release of Ala from prison in Egypt, where the author and human rights defenders have been held for more than a decade in total. He was recently detained to share a Facebook post about torture in Egypt.
On Friday, doctors at St. Thomas Hospital in London said that their blood sugar levels had fallen to such a dangerous level that it was undesirable by standard medical tests. He also reported its ketone levels, indicating blood acidity, so much increased that they too could not be measured by hospital equipment.
He warned that he is now a danger of “sudden death” and irreversible damage to vital organs including heart, brain and kidneys.
“Your low blood sugar remains an inaccessible medical emergency and I am worried that just a slight decrease can result in rapid damage to consciousness, and even death can occur,” one of the doctors present has written.
Outside St. Thomas Hospital, Laila’s daughter Sana said that it was a “miracle” that her mother survived the night.
“The lower line we are losing it … no time. Kir Stamor Now work needs to be done. Not tomorrow, not Monday. Now. Now.”
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: “We are concerned to hear about Laila’s hospitalization. We are in regular contact with Laila and her family and have checked on their welfare. We are committed to securing the release of Ala Abd al-al-Fatah and press it at the highest level of the Egyptian government.”

The family says that Ala Abd al-Fatah is also on a strike of hunger on its 92nd day, only herbal tea, black coffee and reinforcement salts are captured in the plaintiff Al-Natun in Egypt. He started a hunger strike after his mother was admitted to the last hospital in February.
