Ramallah - Saba:
The lawyer of the Palestinian Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Authority stated that all the detainees she visited in Megiddo Prison were brought to the visit with their hands and feet shackled, and that the jailers did not leave them for a moment, but rather deliberately pressured the lawyer to end her meeting quickly, and only gave her 15 minutes for each detainee, which prevented her from speaking with them in privacy and freedom, and prevented her from knowing all the details related to their conditions inside the prison.
The Authority said in a statement today, Monday, according to what was reported by the Palestinian "Wafa" Agency, that the lawyer met with the detainee Kamal Ibrahim Zarifa (68 years old) from Nablus, who suffers from many diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, prostate, and hemorrhoids, and he also suffers from scabies, and complains of severe itching that prevents him from sleeping, and he has lost 30 kilograms of his weight since his arrest due to malnutrition.
The prisoner says: “I am almost seventy years old, and I suffer from several diseases, the most difficult of which is hemorrhoids. My stomach is hardened and I suffer from severe constipation because of the poor quality of the food, which is nothing but starches. There are no vegetables, fruits or soups. Our food consists of nothing but rice and chickpeas. I ask for stomach laxatives, but no one answers. Most of the detainees suffer from constipation.”
