RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAIMages CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAIMages - APAIMages CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron - 18 November 2021. Palestinians take part in a protest in solidarity with prisoners on hunger strike at Israeli jails, in the West Bank city of Hebron. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) mother of prisoner Kayed Fasfous. 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Qadri Abu Bakr: Head of the Prisoners' Affairs Commission.

PPS said in a press statement said that the al-Amour, 39, a resident of Deir al-Balah city in the Gaza Strip, died in his prison cell this morning as a result of systematic intentional medical negligence at the time he was in custody. It added that al-Amour was detained in 2008 and sentenced to 19 years of imprisonment, during which he was denied family visits. He suffered from a congenital heart disease, but the Israeli deliberate medical negligence and harsh detention conditions caused a serious deterioration in his health. He was transferred several days ago from the Nafha Prison to Asqalan Prison, before being transferred to the Soroka Medical Center, where he underwent two surgeries before being declared dead.
