Wednesday 7-December-2016

The Palestinian prisoner Saeed al-Banna 36 affirmed that his latest medical examinations showed a growth of new cancerous lumps in his bladder which require an urgent eradication surgery.

In a letter written by al-Banna and distributed by Mohjat Al Quds foundation on Thursday al-Banna said that two years ago he was diagnosed with bladder cancer then he underwent a surgery to eradicate the tumor in November 2014. The Israeli doctors told him then that he had completely recovered before he was recently surprised that cancer reappeared.

Saeed al-Banna is a single young man from Tulkarem town to the north of the occupied West Bank who was detained by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on 3rd April 2003. He is now serving a life sentence in Eshel prison accused of being a member in al-Quds Brigades and participating in resistance operations.
