Palestinian prisoner pronounced dead in Israeli custody

Saturday 3-September-2022

Palestinian prisoner Mousa Abu Mahameed was proclaimed dead in Assaf Harofeh Hospital on Saturday morning after his exposure to medical neglect according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS).

PPS said that prisoner Abu Mahameed a resident of Beit Ta’mar in Bethlehem was arrested about two months ago in good health after he entered Occupied Jerusalem without an Israeli permit.

His family told PPS that Abu Mahameed only suffered from a neurological issue but recently he was transferred to Assaf Harofeh Hospital after his health declined significantly.

PPS held the Israeli occupation authority fully responsible for the death of Abu Mahameed and accused it of medically neglecting him.

However there is still no information about the health problem that caused the prisoner’s death.
