A Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) issued an alert informing that Tunisian activist Wael Nawar is in "critical" condition after 21 days on hunger strike. The activist began the protest to demand the release of himself and three other members of the group, who are in pre-trial detention in Tunisia.
Wael Nawar is a member of Global Sumud Flotilla, an organization that carries out solidarity campaigns. The activist's situation was classified as critical by the organization itself, which warned about the serious consequences that the prolonged food deprivation is causing to his health.
Nawar's hunger strike is taking place as a form of pressure against the Tunisian authorities, asking for an end to the pre-trial detention of himself and the other three members of the group. The case draws attention to the situation of human rights and freedom of expression in Tunisia.
