Ramallah - Ma'an - The Prisoners' Affairs Commission said on Monday that the Ramleh prison administration continues to oppress prisoners, ignoring their health condition, which requires intensive care, and deliberately using their injuries and illnesses as a weapon to torture and kill them slowly. The Authority's lawyer, who visited the Ramla prison hospital yesterday, stated that 'prisoner Jihad Burqan (36 years old) from Jerusalem is at risk of losing his sight at any moment, due to not being given the injections he used to receive periodically to treat his eyes, in addition to his suffering from diabetes and kidney problems.' He added, "As a result of deliberate medical negligence and depriving detainee Burqan of his medication, he suffered a severe health deterioration, as a result of which he was transferred to Afula Hospital for 6 days, then returned to Ramla Hospital." He continued, "Despite Burqan's attempts to request treatment, the jailer's constant response to him was, 'We only provide you with treatment when you are on the verge of death.'" The Commission concluded its statement by saying, 'In addition to medical negligence, the detainee Burqan was subjected to severe beatings by the repression units and the prison guards many times, the last of which was in Gilboa Prison, where one of the soldiers hit him in the face while he was on the ground, which caused his front teeth to break.'
