RAMALLAH, February 14, 2016 (WAFA) – Head of Detainees and Ex-detainees Committee Issa Qaraqi Sunday said the administration of the Naqab prison holds full responsibility for the life of prisoner Rabi Jabarin, who received a renewed administrative detention order despite his deteriorating health condition.  

In a press release, Qaraqi said 31-year-old Jabarin is being subjected to a serious crime and that is medical negligence and disregard of his critical health condition and worsening Cirrhosis.

Since his arrest, the prison’s administration continues to claim having no treatment and procrastinates in transferring him to an appropriate hospital.

Prisoner Jabarin continues to show symptoms of severe Cirrhosis such as constant vomiting, constipation and inability to walk.

The prisoners in Naqab prison are planning to protest in solidarity with Jabarin and to pressure for his release. Fifty prisoners will join the protest if Jabarin continues to suffer from the same situation.

Jabarin comes from Bethlehem and was arrested on August 19, 2015. He was handed an administrative detention order for four months and received a renewed order right after. He was imprisoned before and was released in 2012.
