Signs of fatigue were clearly shown on Al Khawaja. He was pale and lost lots of weight. I sent him all the people&#8217;s plea to stop the strike as they need him alive to struggle for Bahrain, and for his own risk.<\/p>\n<p>Abdulhadi Al Khawaja told the lawyer: &#8220;I thank who ever stand in solidarity with me and people of Bahrain outside and inside the country. The case is not only about me. It&#8217;s about all wrongfully detainees in Bahrain. My hungerstrike is a part of my Human rights defence inside jail. It&#8217;s very important to focus on all detainees as I&#8217;m just a part of them. I will continue with my hunger strike till I reach my demands despite the consequences. I&#8217;m aware that freedom is expensive and we must sacrifice to gain it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawyer, although Al Khawaja is really tired after 2 weeks of hunger strike, he is still holding his head high and smiling.  <a href=\"http:\/\/abna.ir\/data.asp?lang=3&#038;Id=298422\" target=\"_blank\">&#8230;more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"igit_tsb_button\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crookedbough.com%2F%3Fp%3D6931&amp;text=Abdulhadi+Al+Khawaja%27%2C+Freedom+or+Death+Strike+at+29+Days+as+Tens+of+Thousands+fill+Manama+Streets&amp;count=horizontal&amp;via=\" style=\"\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human Rights Defender Abdulhadi AlKhawaja Strike Reaches 29 Days &#8211; 9 March Protest in Manama Surge Imprisoned HRD AlKhawaja: My hunger strike is a part of my human rights defence inside jailAs Received from AlKhawaja&#8217;s lawyer, Mr Mohamed AlJishi: In a one-hour private visit, I met Abdulhadi Al Khawaja today in Jaw Central Prison.
