The family of the Palestinian prisoner Mohamed Besharat sounded the alarm over the detainee’s exacerbated health status after the Israeli prison authorities denied him a life-saving kidney transplant.
The family said it has preceded with appeals to the Red Cross among other international human rights institutions to save their son’s life. However the Israeli occupation authorities rebuffed all appeals making the situation far worse than the family had expected.
Some three months earlier the detainee was transferred to al-Ramla prison clinic where medics diagnosed him with end-stage renal disease and recommended that he undergo kidney cleansing three times a week.
On September 3 2017 the detainee was rushed to Assaf HaRofeh Medical Center after his health took a serious turn for the worse.
The family added that their son has been denied prison visits under the security pretext.
Mohamed Besharat aged 33 has been held for 16 years in Israeli lock-ups. His latest sentence is slated to end in two years.
