Former Joint List MK petitions to be transferred to different prison with better conditions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer Joint (Arab) List MK Bassel Ghattas, who is currently serving a two-year jail sentence for smuggling cellphones to inmates, has submitted a petition to the the Beersheba District Court requesting that he be transferred from Nafha Prison to another facility.
According to Ghattas, the Nafha site suffers from severe overcrowding. He says that he has a medical condition that has intensified since he began his prison sentence because there are no toilets at Nafha and prisoners are required to squat when going to the bathroom.
