Mohammad has had a seizure, severe chest pain and is now unconscious. I have lit a candle for this young man while I wait for the sad news of his passing. Shame on you, Mr Dutton.
This link was from a few days ago and only touches the surface of what this man has suffered whilst in our care, What have we become?

"I'm not eating because I can't eat because it makes me pain in my chest," he said.
the article also says he is not eating because
he is on hunger strike?
is that why he is now unconscious?
sorry, i find that article confusing.

so is he on a voluntary hunger strike or is he unable to eat for medical reasons?

not sure. the article says both
which makes no sense.

He had been severely beaten by Wilson Guards while trying to protect hs younger brother which resulted in serious injuries including kidney damage. He was supposed to be brought here for medical treatment but only if he signed a document stating that he would not lodge a complaint against the guards. He refused so recieved no treatment, this then lead to the hunger strike. Even though Dutton has stated that Mohammad has been eating and drinking, this is simply not true. He has tried to but his body has deteriorated to the point that nothing is being kept down.

ok so it was voluntary to begin with but now he is at the point of no return...

Yes. Over the past two months he has tried numerous times to eat and drink but he vomits everything back up and is in constant severe pain afterwards.
