APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron - 23 June 2021. Relatives of sick Palestinian prisoner Eyad Harbiyat hold his pictures at their home.
STORYLINE
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club said that Israeli authorities were deliberately neglecting the health of Eyad Harbiyat, a prisoner held by Israel since 2002 who suffers from a severe neurological disorder.
The NGO also accused Israel of neglecting the health of 48-year-old detainee Ali Al-Huroub who recently underwent an operation in an Israeli hospital to have a tumour in his chest removed. Chemotherapy treatment has been repeatedly delayed by Israeli authorities.
Israel routinely uses administrative detention orders to hold Palestinian prisoners indefinitely without charge or trial. On 5 May Abu Atwan began a hunger strike to protest against being held in administrative detention.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club accused Israel of deliberately exposing Abu Atwan to harm and long-term health complications by refusing to accede to his demand to see his lawyers.
Regarding Eyad Harbiyat, who has been sentenced by Israel to life imprisonment plus 20 years for his alleged involvement with the Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, a faction active during the Second Palestinian Intifada, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said that his life was in danger because of previous Israeli neglect of his health.
Harbiyat was taken on Monday to the Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba in southern Israel from the Ramon Prison after a prolonged delay.
He suffers from a major neurological disorder and a severely inflamed prostate. He was taken to hospital before for treatment but Israeli authorities ordered his return to prison despite the fact that he was severely ill.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club said that this health condition has since worsened and accused Israeli authorities of "slowly murdering" Harbiyat, who it said had suffered years of medical neglect.
Israel currently holds over 4,000 Palestinian detainees in its prisons, with hundreds held in administrative detention according to the human rights organisation B’Tselem.
