The detainee also goes through frequent neurological disorders vision problems and impaired blood flow.

Radad’s health condition has started to take a turn for the worse since 2006 when he was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces and sent to occupation jails. The situation has gone sharply downhill as a result of the preplanned medical neglect pursued by the Israeli prison authorities.

Radad underwent a bowel resection making his health condition far worse.
