RAMALLAH, February 27, 2011 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoner’s Club report Sunday showed that two Palestinian prisoners suffer from severe health conditions inside Israeli prisons.

Prisoner’s Club lawyer Mohammad Safiya said during a visit to Israeli Shatta prison that prisoner Mazuz Bisharat from Tubas, north of the West Bank, suffered from an explosion in a part of his stomach as a result of medication prescribed by the prison doctor. Bisharat is suffering serious complications since then.

He added that Bisharat underwent critical surgery and needs another due to escalations in his condition.

Bisharat was arrested in 2003 and is married with 3 children.

Raed Tarabay, another prisoner from Jabalia refugee camp north of Gaza who was arrested in 2002, has cancer and needs immediate treatment, according to Safiya.

The number of prisoners who have cancer is increasing in Israeli prisons.

Through the Prisoner’s Club, prisoners appealed to legal institutions to follow up their health conditions, pointing out the heavy deterioration in their health situation in Israeli prisons due to medical negligence.
