The occupation deducts the visit to the dental clinic from the account of the prisoners’ canteen

The Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported, this morning, Wednesday, that the occupation prison administration has started deducting money from the canteen accounts of prisoners who go to the dental clinic to overcome infections and damage to their teeth as a result of the policy of medical negligence.


In a statement, the authority stated that the prison administration set an amount of (175 shekels) for every hour of treatment in the dental clinic of the prison or detainee, provided that the period is determined by the treating doctor and follower of the prisoner’s condition, and the time value is deducted from his canteen in advance, and it is not allowed to the doctor by exceeding the specified time.


The Commission indicated that this measure comes in the context of a set of retaliatory policies issued by the far-right Israeli government to the prison administration, which is controlled by the leader of the settler gang, the extremist minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who calls for transforming the reality of prisoners and detainees into hell, after describing their harsh daily lives as including Lots of luxury.


The Commission called on international human rights and human rights institutions, led by the World Health Organization, to take immediate action to put an end to this immoral and inhumane extremism, and to work to force the Israeli occupation state to assume its responsibilities towards the Palestinian detainees, not to leave it alone with them, and to deny their life and health rights.
