	Mızraklı who underlined that Güven have had operations due to her health problems before, said: " Mrs. Güven is someone who needs medication regularly. We are in &nbsp;a situation in which we cannot &nbsp;measure blood pressure and the destruction process in this 64-day long hunger striking &nbsp;body, which we cannot test in laboratory at present. Every day after today is critical. We can face organ function loss that might threat her life. We may face liver and kidney failure. Alarm bells are ringing."
