MONTEVIDEO: A Uruguayan judge will decide whether to intervene in the case of a former Guantanamo inmate whose health is failing as he stages a long hunger strike, an official said on Friday.
Jihad Diyab, a 45-year-old Syrian released from Guantanamo in 2014 and resettled in Uruguay, launched a hunger strike more than three weeks ago, demanding to be transferred to an Arab country and reunited with his family.
He went into a coma on Wednesday, then regained consciousness a day later and promptly pulled out his IV tube, his doctor said.
Shortly after, he fainted and three state medical examiners were dis*****ed to assess his health.
They have submitted a report to a judge, who will rule on whether to intervene to protect Diyab´s life, according to the government official in charge of his case, Christian Mirza.
He said Diyab, who has been hospitalized twice in a week but is **w recovering at his residence, was lucid.
“I was with him and he was perfectly conscious and lucid. He had ** difficulty exchanging information," he said.
Diyab is a veteran hunger striker, having staged prolonged hunger strikes during his 12 years at Guantanamo to protest his detention.
He made international headlines when he launched an ultimately unsuccessful court case in the United States in an attempt to stop prison officials from force-feeding him.
He began his latest hunger strike in a Venezuelan prison, where he was detained after leaving Uruguay undetected and showing up at the Uruguayan consulate in Caracas, demanding to be taken to his family in Turkey.
