Zuhair Lubada 50
Hamas leader in Nablus Zuhair Lubada, 50, was pronounced dead at dawn Thursday after one week of his release from Israeli jails for health reasons, sources concerned with prisoners’ affairs said.
Lubada, who was suffering from Cirrhosis of the liver and kidney disease, was released from Israeli prisons after worsening health condition. He was taken from jail to intensive care in a hospital in Nablus.
Lubada was held in Israeli occupation jails more than once and served several years in detention and was one of the deportees to Marj Al-Zuhur in South Lebanon in 1992.
The Wa’ed society for prisoners and ex-prisoners held the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) responsible for the “killing and liquidating” of Lubada.
The society said in an urgent statement on Thursday that increasing numbers of freed Palestinian captives die soon after their release, recalling the cases of Zakaria Issa and Walid Shaat.
Wa’ed asked the Arab League to launch an investigation to probe the death of Lubada and similar cases.
The society called on the family of the deceased to file a lawsuit against the Israeli prison service and Israeli government to hold them accountable for this painful incident.
Hamas mourns death of Lubada
The Hamas Movement has mourned in an announcement the death of its official Zuhair Lubada who died Thursday morning in the hospital he was transferred to after his release from an Israeli jail a few days ago.
Its spokesman Fawzi Barhoum told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Lubada was a resistance hero, a prominent figure of Hamas and one of Marj Azzuhour exiles.
Spokesman Barhoum said the death of Lubada reflected the size of prisoners' suffering in Israeli jails and how they are medically neglected.
The spokesman called on the international community and organizations to pay attention to the issue of Palestinian patients in Israeli jails and intervene to have them return safely and in one piece to their families.
For its part, the prisoner center for studies held the Israeli government fully responsible for the death of prisoner Lubada after his release from one of its jails.
In a press release, director of the center Ra'fat Hamdouna called for moving at the international level to expose Israel's violations against Palestinian prisoners and its disregard for human lives and to take legal action against it.
Hamdouna affirmed that the death of Lubada activated the file of Palestinian patients in Israeli jails, especially as a result of the deliberate medical neglect and the death of a number of patients soon after their release.
Wa'ed society for detainees and ex-detainees, for its part, appealed to the Arab League to delegate an inquiry committee to investigate the death of Lubada and other prisoners who died earlier.
