Tuesday 7-April-2015

RAMALLAH (PIC)– The Palestinian Prisoner Society disclosed on Tuesday that the health conditions of three Palestinian prisoners of the highly sentenced detainees in Israeli jails are worsening as they do not receive necessary treatment.

The lawyer of Palestinian Prisoner Society visited captives in Israeli prisons of Shata and Gilboa and reported some of those cases.

Prisoner Izzat Turkman from Jenin has been asking the prison management for years to allow the entry of a health shoe but the management refused. He is suffering from an injury in one of his legs which led to the shrinkage of its length.

Turkman is sentenced to two life imprisonments and additional thirty years. He was arrested in 2003 and held in Shata.

Prisoner Kamel Mansour from Nablus is suffering from urinary tract infection. He underwent two surgeries. No improvement has been noticed; thus he is waiting to undergo another surgery in April.
