Hannibal Gadhafi's health deteriorating 2 weeks into hunger strike in Lebanon
2023-06-17
[An Nahar] A son of Libya's leader Muammar Qadaffy
...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...
is suffering deteriorating health during the second week of a hunger strike to protest his detention in Beirut without trial, his lawyer said Friday.

Hannibal Qadaffy is only drinking small amounts of water, his lawyer Paul Romanos said, adding that his client is suffering from weakness and muscle pains.

"Had it not been for his solid will, he would not have been able to continue," Romanos said about Hannibal Qadaffy. He added that a doctor is doing daily checkups for the detainee, who has been also suffering from back pain that turned out to be an inflammation in the spine.

Romanos said earlier this month that the back pain is due to being held in a small room where he cannot move freely or exercise.

Hannibal Qadaffy has been detained in Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
since 2015 after he was briefly kidnapped from neighboring Syria, where he had been living as a political refugee.

He was kidnapped by Lebanese snuffies demanding information on the whereabouts of prominent Lebanese Shiite holy man Moussa al-Sadr, who went missing in Libya 45 years ago.

Lebanese police later announced it had collected Hannibal from the northeastern city of Baalbek where he was being held. He has been detained in a Beirut jail without trial since then.

The disappearance of al-Sadr in 1978 has been a long-standing sore point in Lebanon. The holy man's family believes he may still be alive in a Libyan prison, though most Lebanese presume al-Sadr is dead. He would be 94 years old.

Al-Sadr was the founder of the Amal Movement, which fought in Lebanon's 1975-90 civil war. Lebanon's powerful Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
heads the group.

Most of al-Sadr's followers are convinced that Muammar Qadaffy ordered al-Sadr killed in a dispute over Libyan payments to Lebanese militias. Libya has maintained that the holy man and his two traveling companions left Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
in 1978 on a flight to Rome and suggested he was a victim of a power struggle among Shiites.

Qadaffy was killed by Libyan opposition fighters in 2011, ending his four-decade rule of the north African country.

Hannibal Qadaffy was born two years before al-Sadr disappeared.

#3  He's been on a hunger strike for two weeks, and he's hungry and weak.
Let's see, what could be causing that?

#2  What if he just restricts himself to appetizers and the mint chocolate candy they give you with your check? His hunger strike could pretty long that way and he would definitely be hungry. I bet his cell mates might even help him out by stealing a wing or two.
