RAMALLAH (PIC)—The Palestinian prisoners society (PPS) warned that cancer patient Yousri Masri detained in Eshel prison may die after a serious deterioration of his health condition due to the Israeli medical neglect.
His health situation has seriously deteriorated after he underwent a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor of the thyroid gland.
The cancer patient confirmed to the PPS’ lawyer that the Israeli prison administration refuses to provide him with any information about his health status saying that he is facing slow death behind Israeli bars.
Masri pointed out to his suffering while being transferred handcuffed in a military car despite the extreme cold weather in total disregard for his difficult health condition.
The cancer patient appealed to the Palestinian authorities to work on his release before it is too late.
Prisoner Yosri Masri from Gaza was kidnapped in 2003 and sentenced to 20 years in jail.
