The continuation of the medical ignorance policy against sick detainees in Ofer prison 
 
The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs warned of the continuation of the policy of medical ignorance implemented by the IPS in dealing with Palestinian detainees, and depriving them of treatment and medication, which increased the number of sick detainees and led to the deterioration in their health conditions. In this context, the commission stated according to the visit of the lawyer to Ofer prison, that detainee (A. S) from the city of Nablus, was arrested from his house while being injured by remnants of soldiers, causing him laceration in the pelvic area. He was transferred to Rafedia Hospital after his injury but he did not complete his treatment due to the difficulty of field conditions in the city and then he went back to his home. Then, he was arrested and trans to Wolfson Hospital in Israel, where he was about to be assassinated by a settler but the medical staff rescued him. Afterwards, he was transferred to the clinic of Alramla prison, but the IPS refused to treat him and attacked him with intense beat and moved him to Ofer prison. He was sentenced to 6 months of Administrative Detention and suffers from medical ignorance. Another case in point is detainee (H. A), who suffers from pain in the stomach and enlarged kidney, and he vomits blood. He lost 20 kgs of his weight and his health condition is deteriorating due to the lack of medication, which coincides with malnutrition and cold weather. He was sentenced to 6 months of administrative detention. The commission called for an immediate international intervention from the WHO, to stop the medical crimes committed against our detainees.
