17 Palestinian prisoners in Israel are in serious medical condition, group says

The Palestinian news agency Ma’an says 17 Palestinian prisoners in a Ramle prison face serious medical conditions.

The agency quotes Jawad Bolous, a lawyer with the Palestinian Prisoners Society, who says Tuesday that two of the prisoners, Sami Abu Diak and Bassam al-Sayeh, have cancer.

Bolous charges prison medical personnel of “medical negligence,” noting that Diak has been hospitalized at Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center multiple times.
