Mahjoub En Danger De Mort Les Autorités Refusent De L'hospitaliser

Au Jour 74 de sa grève de la faim au Toronto West Detention Centre, Mohammad Mahjoub est souffrant et proche de la mort. Trop faible pour se lever, il souffre de douleurs lancinantes au ventre et aux reins. Il a le souffle court, fait de l'hypotension grave et sa vue faiblit.

Après 5 ans de détention sans procès, il persiste dans sa grève de la faim en affirmant que c'est le seul moyen qui lui reste d'affirmer sa dignité et celle de sa famille.

Mahjoub a demandé d'être hospitalisé et se dit prêt à recevoir une intraveineuse. Il y a une infirmerie au centre de détention mais les autorités carcérales refusent d'y transférer M. Mahjoub, affirmant qu'ils l'hospitaliseront seulement s'il tombe dans le coma. À ce stade-là, il y aura un risque majeur de dommages irréversibles.

Mohammad Mahjoub n'a jamais été accusé, encore moins trouvé coupable.  Par sa grève de la faim, il ne demande que des conditions de detention minimalement décentes. En particulier, il demande des visites-contact mensuelles avec sa femme et ses deux jeunes enfants. Il demande également des soins médicaux pour son hépatite C (on lui refuse une biopsie du foie prescrite par le médecin), des soins médicaux pour une blessure à la jambe, et une paire de lunettes.

 

Mais les autorités gouvernementales sont prêtes à prendre le risque qu'il subisse des séquelles graves et permanentes, peut-être même la mort, plutôt que d'écouter ses demandes.

SVP AGISSEZ POUR SAUVER LA VIE DE MOHAMMAD MAHJOUB

1. Appelez ou envoyez un fax ou un courriel au Premier ministre de l'Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, et à Monte Kwinter, ministre des Services correctionnels de l'Ontario pour demander que M. Mahjoub soit hospitalisé immédiatement, et qu'un représentant du gouvernement rencontre les représentants de M. Mahjoub pour discuter de ses demandes (voir numéros et modèle de lettre ci-dessous).

 

2. MONTREAL: Manifestation lundi le 19 septembre à 11h45 au bureau de Paul Martin, 400 Carré d'Youville (coin McGill), métro Square Victoria pour exiger que Mahjoub soit hospitalisé immédiatement, et que ses conditions de detention soient améliorées.

Re: 75è jour de grève de la faim de Mohammad Mahjoub

Cher M. McGuinty,

Je vous écris pour vous demander d'agir immédiatement pour sauver la vie de Mohammad Mahjoub, qui est détenu sans procès dans une prison ontarienne depuis plus de cinq et qui en est présentement à sa 75è journée de grève de la faim. Il ne demande que des conditions de détention minimalement décentes.  En effet, ses principales revendications visent à obtenir un traitement médical approprié pour son hépatite C (on lui refuse la biopsie du foie que le médecin a prescrite), des soins pour une blessure à un genou et des visites-contact avec ses jeunes enfants une fois par mois.


M. Mahjoub est très faible et le risque de sa mort ou de dommages graves et irréversibles est imminent.  Il a demandé à être hospitalisé et acceptera une intraveineuse. Il y a une infirmerie au Centre de détention de Toronto ouest, mais les autorités pénitentiaires refusent de l'y transférer, affirmant qu'elles n'hospitaliseront pas un gréviste de la faim à moins qu'il ne tombe dans le coma.  Parvenu à ce stade-là, des dommages permanents sont sérieusement à craindre.
 
Je vous demande d'intervenir immédiatement pour exiger que les autorités pénitentiaires hospitalise Mohammad sans attendre un jour de plus.

 

De plus, veuillez, s'il vous plaît, autoriser un représentant de votre gouvernement à rencontrer les représentants de M. Mahjoub, dont son épouse, Mona Elfouli, afin que cette crise connaisse finalement un dénouement juste et humain.

Mohammad Mahjoub Close To Death Authorities Refuse Hospitalization


On Day 75 of his hunger strike, Mohammad Mahjoub is very weak and in constant pain. After 5 years of detention on secret evidence and without being charged, he does not wish to end his hunger strike, saying that it is the only way left for him to fight for his dignity and that of his family.

Mahjoub has asked to be hospitalized and will accept an IV. There is an infirmary inside the Toronto West Detention Centre, but prison authorities are refusing to send him there. He is at imminent risk of permanent, severe impairment and, very possibly of death.

PLEASE ACT IMMEDIATELY TO SAVE

MOHAMMAD MAHJOUB'S LIFE

 1. Call and FAX Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and Monte Kwinter, Minister of Correctional Services, to demand that Mahjoub be hospitalized, and that someone from the government meet with him, his family and his support committee to discuss his demands.

Re: 72-Day Hunger strike of Mohammad Mahjoub

Dear Mr. McGuinty

I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to save the life of Mohammad Mahjoub, who has been detained without trial in an Ontario prison for over five years and is now on Day 75 of a hunger strike (Sept. 19) to demand minimally decent conditions of detention. His main demands include proper medical treatment for hepatitis C (a prescribed liver biopsy has been denied), medical care for a knee injury, eyeglasses, and touch visits with his young children once a month.

Mr. Mahjoub is very weak and at imminent risk of death or severe, permanent impairment. He has asked to be hospitalized and will accept an IV. There is a hospital unit inside the Toronto West Detention Centre, but prison authorities are refusing to send him there, stating that they will not hospitalize a hunger striker unless he is in a coma. By that time, there is a major risk of irreversible damage.

Please intervene immediately to ask correctional authorities to hospitalize Mohammad Mahjoub without delay. In addition, please authorize a government representative to meet with Mr. Mahjoub's representatives, including his wife, Mona Elfouli (contact Matthew Behrens, at (416) 651-5800 or [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to reach a just and humane solution to this crisis.

A man's life is in your hands. So is Canada's international reputation with regard to human rights.

Sincerely,
(name)
