The prisoners are subjected to deliberate medical negligence despite of their severe health and life-threatening conditions according to the committee.
“The prison authorities have often their transfer to specialized hospitals for the necessary tests or for urgent operations in addition to denying the appropriate treatments for their condition.”
Some of the prisoners suffer chronic diseases such as diabetes pressure heart kidney and others.
