Hunger Strikes
Deghayes was one of the hunger strikers who joined the most publicized hunger strike at the camp, said to have been triggered by the beating of Hisham Sliti.
According to an article by Clive Stafford Smith, Deghayes wrote:
- "I am slowly dying in this solitary prison cell, I have no rights, no hope. So why not take my destiny into my own hands, and die for a principle?"

Its gold clasped
With half-opened laurel-shoots
When the god strikes her
With his breath.”
