Director of the Prisoners Media Office Nahed al-Fakhouri on Wednesday said that the deliberate medical neglect that led to the death of the Palestinian prisoner Fares Baroud is a “heinous crime”.
Al-Fakhouri said in a press statement that this crime mirrors the criminal policies pursued by the Israel Prison Service against Palestinian detainees.
Fares Baroud 51 died on Wednesday in Israel’s Raymond jail after his health worsened due to deliberate medical neglect.
Baroud was transferred on Tuesday to the intensive care unit at the hospital of Raymond jail after he suffered serious health complications.
