Critical health cases reported in Israeli jails
Picture
The policy of medical neglect adopted by Israeli Prison Service (IPS) has led to aggravation of health conditions among Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

Detainees and Ex-detainees Affairs Committee said, in a statement on Saturday, the health conditions of a number of Palestinian prisoners held in Ashkelon and Rimon prisons have been continuously worsening due to the continuation of medical negligence policy pursued by IPS.

The lawyer of the Committee, Mutaz Sheqairat, said the health status of captive Mohammad al-Arqan from al-Khalil is very serious. He has been suffering for 13 years from a tumor in the liver which has not been removed yet despite doing the examination required. For the past two months, his condition has been seriously worsening.

Prisoner Khalid Hasan al-Qadi, who is sentenced to 14 years and a half and held in Rimon prison, is suffering from Hepatitis (B). He got infected with the virus at the prison’s dental clinic on March 22, 2014.

Qadi said he was transferred to the prison’s clinic two weeks earlier, but the doctor there refused to see him. He added that his immunity has been very week to the extent that he has not been able to move well, asking for a specialized doctor.

Lawyer Karim Ajweh said detainee Ali Mohammad Hassan from Qalqilya is suffering from multiple health problems the most significant of which are breathing difficulty and backache (Disk). He is held in Ashkelon prison and sentenced to life and seven years.

Prisoner Hassan said he has not been receiving the appropriate treatment which worsened his backache. It has affected his legs, leaving him unable to walk unless he uses crutches.

Palestinian Detainees Continue to be Denied Medical Treatment

Sick Palestinian detainees held in Israeli jails continue to suffer from the prison administration's systematic policy of medical negligence, further worsening already precarious health conditions, the detainees and ex-detainees affairs committee stated, on Saturday.

Palestinian prisoners are held in overcrowded cells which lack basic health standards, WAFA Palestinian News & Info Agency reports, including the infestation of insects and rats, extreme cold and lack of heating methods, in addition to leakage of waste water into their cells, further aggravating their already poor and unacceptable conditions.

Lawyer for the committee, Mo’taz Shqirat, highlighted the cases of three prisoners whose health conditions are continuingly deteriorating, due to the Israeli prison administration's failure to provide them with the necessary medical treatment.

Mohammad al-Arqan, a resident of Hebron who was sentenced to life in Rimon Israeli prison, suffers from extremely difficult health conditions; he was diagnosed with liver cancer almost 13 years ago, during which the prison administration did not allow him to undergo the necessary surgery to eradicate the tumor in its early stages, further worsening his case.

Al-Arqan’s health condition has extremely worsened during the past two months; he reported that he gets no relief, not even temporarily, with any available painkillers; the prison administration, with its continued deliberate medical negligence is fully responsible for his rapidly deteriorating health condition.

Meanwhile, prisoner Khaled al-Qadi, a resident of Gaza sentenced to 14 and a half years in Rimon, reports that he is in an urgent need of medical help, as his immune system is extremely low and is unable to move.

Al-Qadi was diagnosed with the Hepatitis B virus, which he said was transmitted to him by the prison’s dental clinic in March of 2014. He said that he has been left untreated since then, noting that he was transferred to the prison clinic almost two weeks ago but was denied treatment by a doctor who claimed to have been busy at the time.

Regarding the case of Ali Hassan, from Qalqilia, who was sentenced to life plus an additional seven years in Asqalan prison, various health problems were reported, including respiratory difficulties and problems in both the second and third vertebrae, in his spinal column.

Hassan has also been denied medical treatment by the prison administration, further worsening his back pain, which has traveled down through his legs and rendered him unable to walk without the help of crutches.

WAFA additionally reports that, according to Minister of Prisoners' Affairs, Issa Qaraqe, the number of sick prisoners detained in Israeli jails has now reached some 1,500, 80 of whom are suffering from serious health problems and are not receiving the necessary treatment; they suffer from malignant diseases, paralysis and disabilities, in addition to cases of mental illness and neurological disorder.

Furthermore, according to Addameer human rights association, “Israeli authorities responsible for prisoners regularly neglect their duties to provide medical support for Palestinian prisoners in their care, as required by the Geneva Conventions.”

“Medical problems are widespread, and range in severity from chest infections and diarrhea to heart problems and kidney failure. Treatment is often inadequate and is delivered after substantial delays. Often medication is limited to over-the-counter pain killers.”

IOF arrests two Palestinians in al-Khalil

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested at dawn Saturday an ex-detainee along with his brother in al-Khalil.

Local sources said the Israeli forces stormed and searched the houses of both brothers and spoiled their properties. The IOF soldiers arrested Awad al-Rajabi, who was released in al-Wafa prisoner swap deal struck with Egyptian mediation, in addition to his brother Jawad. Both were taken to an unknown destination.

The Israeli army soldiers were heavily deployed at the entrances of the city; they stormed some neighborhoods including Ras al-Jorah, al-Salam Street and the southern area, the sources said.

A 15-year-old boy was shot and injured by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) during a peaceful march in Nabi Saleh village west of Ramallah, while a Palestinian citizen was nabbed during a similar march in Bili’in town.

A peaceful march was organized following the Friday prayer in Nabi Saleh village protesting against Israeli brutal arrests and assaults against Palestinian children. 

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) fired tear gas and sound bombs at the participants once they reached the village’s entrance. Live bullets were also fired at the protesters.

A 15-year-old boy was injured and taken to hospital after being shot in his thigh with live ammunition.

IOF soldiers also arrested the activist in popular committee against settlement Mohamed Khatib during a march in Bili’in village near Ramallah.

Meanwhile, violent clashes broke out Friday evening in Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem when Israeli forces fired tear gas bombs at local residents.

Palestinian youths in their turn responded by throwing stones towards the soldiers. No injuries were reported during the clashes.

Similar confrontations erupted at the western entrance of Takoa village tot he east of in the city, the PIC reporter said.

On the other hand, the occupation forces suppressed and attacked Palestinian youths while trying to plant olive saplings near Nocodam settlement, illegally built on Palestinian-owned land in Bethlehem.

The land belongs to a Palestinian farmer who has been deprived from having access into it for 15 years.

A number of activists were nabbed after Israeli soldiers and settlers closed the road leading to the land.

Army Kidnaps Three Palestinians Near Gaza
Picture
The Israeli army kidnapped, on Friday evening, three Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, claiming that the three men infiltrated into an area in the Eshkol Regional Council of Settlements.

The army said the three Palestinians entered the area through a gap in the border fence, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

It claimed that the kidnapped Palestinians “carried knives,” and have been moved to an Israeli security center for interrogation.

Sabri: Israeli prosecution of children is illegal
Picture
Sheikh Ikrema Sabri, head of the Supreme Islamic Council, strongly condemned Friday Palestinian children’s arrest at the hands of Israeli forces in violation of international conventions on child’s rights.

Palestinian children are deliberately targeted by Israeli occupation authorities, he said during his Friday sermon at the Aqsa Mosque, adding they are arrested, assaulted, and put on trial in illegal courts just to increase their fear and horror.

Sheikh Sabri underlined that any Israeli court’s ruling against Palestinian children is an invalid and illegal sentence.

He pointed out that all Israeli political parties declared total support to the Jewish religious groups’ proposal to allow Jews to pray at al-Aqsa Mosque as part of the “unethical competition in the Israeli elections.”

"Therefore, there is no difference between Israeli left-wing and right-wing parties as there is no difference between an extremist and non-extremist Jew, they are all the same", he continued.

Sheikh Sabri stressed that Israeli escalated break-ins into al-Aqsa Mosque would never give any legitimacy to Jews’ presence in the holy shrine, denouncing Israeli police’s brutal attacks against Jerusalemite women stationed there.

Large-scale transfer of Palestinian prisoners to other jails
Picture
Wide prison transfers were carried out over the past few days against several Palestinian prisoners in Ofer, Eshel, Ramon, Megiddo, and Nafha jails.

Lawyer of the Palestinian prisoner society Jawad Bolos said that Israeli prison department in Ofer jail had transferred 50 detainees to different jails without allowing them to take their clothes and personal belongings.

Some other prisoners were also transferred from Nafha, Ramo and Ofer to other jails, Bolos added.

The transfer campaign aims at foiling Palestinian prisoners’ intended protest steps, which were declared to take place between mid-March and April, he noted.

He said the prisoners would state their protest steps against those transfers later.

Rights group: Israel’s detention of children “crime against humanity”
Picture
The Arab Group for Development and National Empowerment has strongly denounced Israel’s detention of 14-year-old Palestinian child Malak al-Khatib, sentenced to two months in jail.

The Arab group called on, in a statement Thursday, the UNICEF and all international institutions to immediately intervene and pressure the Israeli occupation to immediately release Malak.

The Geneva-based human rights group voiced deep concern over Israel's persistence in kidnapping Palestinian children and detaining them in harsh incarceration conditions.

It described Israel's detention and prosecution of Malak a crime against humanity and the Palestinian childhood, and a blatant violation of the international law.

Several Palestinians Injured Near Hebron
Picture
A number of Israeli military vehicles invaded, on Thursday evening, the ath-Thaher area, south of Beit Ummar town, in the southern West Bank district of Hebron, and clashed with dozens of local youths.

Local sources said the soldiers fired gas bombs, concussion grenades and rubber-coated metal bullets, causing several injuries, mainly due to the effects of tear gas inhalation. Israeli sources said one soldier was mildly injured.

Mohammad Awad, coordinator of the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in Beit Ummar, said the several military vehicles invaded the ath-Thaher area, and conducted provocative acts that led to clashes with dozens of local youths.

Awad added that the invasion targeted an area close to the Somoud local mosque.

The invaded area is next to the Karmie Tzur illegal settlement, built on privately owned Palestinian lands.

The attack is part of numerous similar violations and assaults carried out by fanatic settlers, in addition to frequent Israeli military invasions.

Also on Thursday evening, the Israeli army said it kidnapped two Palestinians who reportedly “crossed the security fence with Gaza," and "attempted to infiltrate into the Eshkol Regional Council of Settlements.”

The army alleged the two “carried grenades,” and were planning an attack, before the soldiers arrested them, and took them to an interrogation facility.
