Three Palestinians in Ramon jail medically neglected

The Palestinian prisoner society said that the Israeli administration of Ramon jail deliberately neglects the medical treatment of three Palestinian prisoners. According to a lawyer sent by the society to the jail, prisoner Iyad Nassar, from Tulkarem city and sentenced to 30 years, has been suffering for several years from loss of vision in his left eye and weakness in his right eye. The lawyer affirmed that there are fears that prisoner Nassar could lose his eyesight completely any day due to the reluctance of the Ramon administration to provide him with proper medical treatment. Prisoner Mahmoud Sharha, in turn, suffers from a tumor and he does know its type, although it was discovered several months ago. The lawyer said that the Ramon jail allowed the prisoner to undergo medical tests, but he has neither been told about the type of the tumor he suffers from or his health situation, nor provided with treatment. He noted that the Ramon jailers transferred Sharaha to hospital about one month ago despite his suffering for three years. The third prisoner named Yaser Sharbati has been suffering from an unknown swelling of his knee for months, and still not provided with any treatment.
