The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) on Sunday raised alarm bells over the exacerbated health status of cancer-stricken prisoner Iyas al-Refai 32.
According to the PPS prisoner al-Refai has gone through frequent faints along with a hemorrhage vomiting and a low body temperature.
PPS lawyer quoted prisoner al-Refai whom he visited in the Nafha jail as stating that he was rushed to the prison clinic where Israeli medics provided him with pain soothers before he was returned to his prison cell.
Recently the Israeli prison service (IPS) transferred the sick detainee to the Eshel lock-up in an exhausting trip that lasted for three days via the Bosta vehicle.
Eshel medics diagnosed him with an immunity-threatening virus that may lead to tuberculosis.
A native of Ramallah province prisoner al-Refai has long been suffering severe intestinal infections. In 2015 he underwent a surgery to remove a tumor that infected his body as a result of medical neglect in Israeli jails.
Al-Refai was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces in August 2006 and sent to an Israeli prison where he has been serving an eleven-year sentence.
