Ramallah – Ma’an – The lawyer of the Prisoners’ Affairs Authority and the Freed Prisoners said after their visit to the Negev prison that the prison administration is deliberately starving the prisoners and neglecting their treatment with the aim of torturing them and killing them slowly. However, the strong will of our prisoners and their firm determination have foiled the occupation’s plans. Despite the difficult circumstances and their complete isolation from the world, they are still steadfast.
In this context, the Authority’s lawyer confirmed that prisoner Jihad Ibrahim Nasser (26 years old) from Qalandia Camp – Ramallah, is considered one of the most prominent examples of the crime of deliberate medical negligence practiced by the Prison Service administration without mercy towards our prisoners. He suffered from an advanced and advanced infection with scabies, which spread throughout his body, making it completely dry and peeling, and boils and infections spread all over his body, in addition to his s
uffering from severe pain that prevented him from moving his limbs, as he could not raise his hand or shoulder, and he was unable to sleep, eat or bathe for many days, and despite that, the prisoner was not given any treatment, not even a painkiller.
But the surprise was during the last visit to the prisoner, where there was a great improvement in his health and he recovered completely, and there was no trace of the disease on his body, although he did not undergo any treatment.
Note that Jihad Nasser was arrested on 12/01/2021, and a 4-year prison sentence was issued against him.
As for prisoner Ibrahim Saeed Salem (39 years old), from Al-Ain camp – Nablus, a biopsy was taken from his tongue, two months before the war, as a result of severe infections he suffered from in the mouth and throat, and the results of the examinations were that he does not suffer from cancer or a serious illness, but the disease was not diagnosed and he was subsequently prevented from visiting the clinic due to the retaliatory m
easures imposed on the prisoners since 10/7/2023.
Today, Ibrahim suffers from scabies, which has worsened significantly recently, and he is demanding treatment, but to no avail.
The lawyer quoted the prisoner as saying: ‘The conditions are very harsh, the attacks are varied and repeated, and they are being practiced against us in a systematic manner. The prison administration is deliberately starving the prisoners collectively, which has led to a decrease in our weight, so we have become like skeletons, and most of us are suffering from emaciation and exhaustion.’
The prisoner was arrested on 01/15/2008, and was sentenced to 26 years in prison.
