End our inhumanity

Dear Prime Minister,

The suffering of Azzam El Sheikh continues. He has had nothing to eat for a week and no treatment, not even basic pain relief, for his injuries. Today it is reported that a doctor was bribed/threatened by ABF to sign a document that Azzam is fit to fly despite not examining him. The video of Azzam's appeal to you has been viewed more than 12000 times.
