(AFP) - Arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti's health has declined seriously over the past week, according to Amani Sarahneh of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, who says Barghouti is refusing medical treatment.
Barghouti is one of the leaders of a hunger strike involving about 1,000 security prisoners. Asked about Barghouti, an Israeli Prisons Service spokesman said that "no decline in his health condition has been observed". The spokesman told AFP, "If Barghouti feels bad, all he has to do is eat."
