The Commission for the Affairs of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners revealed today, Monday, that according to its lawyer’s visit to the sick prisoner, Ali Al-Haroub (50 years old), from the town of Dura/Hebron, who suffers from cancer and underwent mastectomy surgeries. The prisoner’s medication was cut off for a month, which led to a worsening of the disease. His health condition has spread and the cancerous tumor has spread to his right foot, pelvis and bladder, where the detainee administration deliberately neglects him and does not provide him with the necessary and appropriate treatment.
It is noteworthy that Al-Hroub, a father of 4 sons and 3 daughters, was arrested in June 2010 and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The Commission held the Israeli prison administration fully responsible for the continuing series of medical negligence against Palestinian detainees, and called on international and human rights organizations to play their necessary role towards the issue of detainees and break their silence.
