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 tasc at web.ca) 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)

Hon. Monte Kwinter
Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services
