Prisoner Masri in hospital again

Monday 18-May-2015

GAZA (PIC)– The Israeli prison authority on Sunday transferred once again 32-year-old prisoner Yousri al-Masri from Nafha jail to Soroka hospital after a sharp decline in his health condition.

The Palestinian prisoner society warned of Israel’s persistence in detaining him and appealed to human rights groups to intervene to have him released immediately.

A lawyer from the society who visited Nafha jail a few days ago said that the prisoner had not received medical tests to diagnose his health problem expressing his belief that the prisoner might have a liver tumor.

Prisoner Masri had underwent surgery to remove a gland tumor in 2013.

He was sentenced to 20 years in jails after his arrest in 2003.
