IPA refuses to hospitalize sick detainee

Wednesday 10-January-2007

JENIN (PIC)– The Israeli prisons authority (IPA) has refused to transfer the Palestinian detained MP Ibrahim Dahbor to hospital despite suffering acute kidney pains his wife Um Khalil said.

She said that her husband told her that he was suffering inflammation in his urinary tract and that he suffered pains each time he went to the toilet. The detained PLC member of the Hamas-affiliated change and reform bloc said that the IPA denied him medical check up in hospital despite his condition.

Um Khalil said that she asked the Red Cross office in Jenin to step in and allow a doctor to see her husband but officials there told her they could not force the IPA to do so.

The wife appealed to all human rights and legal institutions to immediately intervene and allow her husband to be treated in hospital since medical treatment is a prisoner’s right regardless of reasons of his detention.

Um Khalil held the IPA responsible for any further deterioration in her husbands’ condition since he never suffered pains in his kidney before his arrest.

The IPA had moved Dahbor along with two other detained MPs Khaled Sa’eed and Khaled Suleiman from Nafha jail to Megiddo prison without any reason given for the step.

In a related development an Israeli military court extended the administrative detention of Ibrahim Madi director of the PLC office in Salfit district for six more months.

Sources close of Madi’s family said that he was held without trial or charge since July last year. They denounced his continued detention and demanded his immediate release. Madi spent almost 13 years in occupation jails at separate intervals.
