Three prisoners suffer from deliberate medical neglect in Janot Prison.

The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners said that three prisoners are suffering from deliberate medical neglect in Janot Prison.

The Commission explained, in its report, issued today, Monday, that its lawyers visited a number of sick prisoners, including: the case of prisoner Ziad Bazar (50 years old) from the town of Beitlu/Ramallah, who was arrested on 1/7/2004 and sentenced to 23 years in prison. He suffers from severe toothache, and he also needs new glasses, as the lenses he has now are no longer suitable for his vision today.

Prisoner Abdullah Al-Barghouthi (31 years old) from the town of Kobar/Ramallah, suffers from scabies, but his condition is stable.

Note that the prisoner was arrested on May 18, 2023, and is serving an administrative sentence, with his sentence extended for the fifth consecutive time.

Meanwhile, prisoner Mohammed Shamasneh (56 years old) from the town of Qatana/Jerusalem, has been suffering from scabies for a whole year. He received treatment in November of last year and did not improve. He also received treatment in January of this year without any benefit. In April of this year, he received treatment for the third time and no longer suffers from any itching. However, he continued to complain of boils and asked the prison clinic for an antibiotic to treat them, but they refused to give him one.

It is noteworthy that the prisoner has been detained since 11/12/1993, and has been sentenced to three life sentences and twenty-five years.
