An Algerian who has been on a hanger strike for 53 days definitively refused to take medicines and her heath state reached a dangerous stage, doctors say.

Doctors in charge of looking after Meryem Mehdi said the government is responsible for any dangerous situation which could happen with her.
Morocco-based Work Democratic Organisation decided to set up an international commission to show solidarity with her.
The organisation held a meeting about the issue. It came up with the decision of an international solidarity commission to claim her right to come back to work with no conditions.
According to a press release, what is happening to Meryem Mehdi is a human rights violation. The organisation condemned what it called “unfair dismissal” of Algerian employees from foreign companies. It also asked the British company to take back its decision.
Secretary General of the Algerian workers’ union at foreign companies Yacine Zayed said the British Gas’ lawyer told Meryem Mehdi’s lawyer the company will boycott any negotiations with her.

I swear by Allah if Maryem is living in UK the British gas will be persecuted not just by the crown court here in Britain also They will be named and ashamed by the public all over the News to teach British gaz and other companies won't never even think to do it again.
Here in UK people loves the Football with no limits but when it comes to real issues like employment, education, transport, health service and so on those issues are above everything, They will fight till the end and They get the government to intervene to solve theirs problems,
in contrary our people worried what's going elsewhere and about what about Football "Egypt did this or Egypt done that...." and no one tries to push the government to say something.
Justice social is very important without it won't be no development and no one going to respect us, just like Britis Gas is doing to Maryem is lack of respect toward her because She is already unfairly treated by our society,
by our people and also the autority and the government let her down.
So You Echourouk instead to spread hate toward another country, please press on association of civil right and human right to push our government to intervene and solve this problem.
MARYEM good like And believe me You will the symbol of Employment right in Algeria, You are another hassiba benbouali, Jamilla bouhidher and Fatima Nousoumere and What Amasing Woman You are, Your action is pacific and Without violence trust me I praise You and You are brave My God What a "resilience" You got, You worth more than 100 men may be this lesson for other Young male to learn if We want to change things You don't need to do it by violence and terrorisme. I hope this is the begining of New Algeria a hope for social justice equality to everyone; children women elderly person and vulnerable people I believe Something good come from Your action INCHAALLAH. My thoughts with You and We here to support You.
