Israel commits a crime of medical negligence against a prisoner suffering from cancer
The Prisoner Club said, "The Israeli occupation continues its crime against the prisoner, Asif Al-Rifai (21 years old), who has cancer, from the town of Kafr Ain / Ramallah, by arresting him and detaining him in the so-called (Ramla prison clinic), despite the constant risks to his life, and his urgent need for his family. Especially since the CT scans that were recently performed on him showed that his health was not improving.”
The Prisoner Club pointed out that the prisoner Al-Rifai began receiving treatment between (chemical and biological treatment) in March of this year, that is, about seven months after the date of his arrest on September 24, 2022, despite the confirmation of medical reports on the level of danger that he was facing the period of his arrest.
It is noteworthy that the occupation authorities detain more than 700 sick prisoners, including about 200 prisoners suffering from chronic diseases, including 24 prisoners, and detainees suffering from cancer and tumors of varying degrees, and today the case of the prisoner, Asif Al-Rifai, is considered the most difficult and severe.
