Arrested in February for allegedly throwing rocks, a charge his family vehemently denies, Muhammad’s health has significantly deteriorated, prompting calls for immediate intervention from the United States government.

Muhammad, who was 15 at the time of his arrest, was taken from his family’s home in the occupied West Bank village of Silwad (al-Mazraa ash-Sharqiya) by heavily armed “Israeli” troops.

Relatives state he was blindfolded and handcuffed. A video of his interrogation, reviewed by media outlets, shows him being questioned without a lawyer present, raising concerns about due process.

Concerns for Muhammad’s well-being have escalated due to his rapidly declining health. He has reportedly lost between 12-13kg, more than a fourth of his body weight, and has developed a severe scabies infection.
