A Palestinian inmate in Israel's Ofer prison suffered from "hysteria" after carrying out an extended hunger strike, a prisoners' ministry lawyer said Thursday.There has not been a psychological diagnosis of "hysteria" for decades.
Ehab al-Ghaleet, a lawyer for the Palestinian Ministry of Prisoners' Affairs, said that Thaer Abdullah was on hunger strike for 50 days, as a result of which he was treated in Assaf Harofeh medical center.
Throughout that period Abdullah suffered from brain dehydration and had to stop his strike before he was returned to Ofer prison, al-Ghaleet said.
Abdullah was brought to a psychiatrist when he returned to Ofer due to his hysteria, al-Ghaleet said.
What would Def Leppard think?
Ma'an goes on:
Since 1967, more than 650,000 Palestinians have been detained by Israel, representing 20 percent of the total population and 40 percent of all males in the occupied territories.I showed that these numbers are complete fiction a number of times.
Anti-Israel groups love to pick up on ridiculous claims like these.
It would be hysterical - if so many didn't believe and disseminate the lies so easily.
