An Israeli parole committee on Wednesday decided to postpone a hearing to look into a request for early release filed for Palestinian prisoner Sami Abu Diyak who suffers from a serious health problem.
According to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs the Israeli prison service’s parole committee said it would study an early release request for prisoner Diyak on November 21.
The committee took its decision at the behest of the Israeli prosecutor at the pretext of giving the prison service sufficient time to prepare a supplementary medical report for the one submitted earlier by the prison doctor on the health of the prisoner.
Lawyer Iyad Misk from the Palestinian Commission of Detainees said that the commission would send a doctor soon to visit prisoner Diyak and prepare a real medical report on his health condition before the Israeli parole committee convenes its session.
Prisoner Diyak from Jenin city is serving three life prison terms and he suffers from malignant intestinal tumors.
