Ramallah: Palestinian prisoner Walid Daqqa, who completed 39 years behind bars for his resistance to the Israeli occupation, died today in the Israeli Assaf Harofeh Hospital after years of deliberate medical negligence by the Israeli prison administration, said the Detainees and Ex-Detainees' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS). In a statement, the Commission and PPS described the death of Daqqa as part of the "slow killing" policy followed by the Israeli prison administration against sick prisoners. The health condition of Daqqa has deteriorated since March last year; three months before his previous release date after suffering from severe pneumonia and acute kidney failure, in addition to being diagnosed with myelofibrosis cancer on December 18, 2022.
