Athens IMC | 28.06.2005 15:57 | Repression
Today, 27th of June 2005, ZULKUF MURAT BORA (BAHOZ) is still persisting on his decision of drinking only water without any sugar or salt. During his medical exam, we came out with the following results:
Height: 1,72m
Weight: 49kg (initially his weight was 65kg)
BMI (Body Maze Indicator): 16,5
MAMC (Perimetre of arm): 22,3
As a consequence, his symptoms are intense weakness and tiredeness, low blood pressure when attempting to stand up, inability to walk, repeated episodes of hypogluchaemia combined with intense headache and perspiration, intense nautia, intense pain in the muscles and swollen lips and tongue.
The paraclinical exam indicated: persisting hypogluchaemia, hyperurichaemia, leucopenia.
Conclusion: Once more we clarify that the health condition of the hunger striker is currently very critical, since the irreversible damage of vital organs (especially on the brain - permanent neurological damage) is more obvious, which is indicated by the rapid weight loss (-1 kg every 48hrs)
