Negev prison administration refuses to treat hunger striker
JENIN, (PIC)-- The Negev prison administration has refused to extend necessary medical treatment for Palestinian prisoner Aysar Al-Atrash, who has been suffering pain for several days due to his hunger strike.
Atrash told his lawyer that the prison administration was only giving him sedatives without any medical check-ups to know reason for his chest pain and treat it.
He said that the jailors, in a bid to blackmail
and pressure him, used to bring three meals every day to his
cell while keeping 24-hour camera monitoring on
him.
Atrash said that the jailors took him on a stretcher
to the prison’s clinic and threw him on the floor on
arrival
there.
