Family of Palestinian prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid calls for forcing Israeli occupation to release their son

OCCUPIED AL_QUDS, Jan.9, (ST)-The Israeli occupation rejects the release of Palestinian prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid, who is battling cancer.  

 

According to WAFA News Agency, the family of Nasser Abu Hamid, a Palestinian serving seven life sentences in Israeli occupation’s prisons, said today that the doctor supervising their son’s condition told them he had acute pneumonia as a result of a bacterial infection that led to a failure of his lungs which led to a coma.

 

The family appealed to all parties of concern to take urgent and effective action to save the life of their son, as well as on the masses to continue their popular support to press the occupation to release him as he’s facing an imminent risk of death.

 

Earlier this week, the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Commission urged all human rights and international institutions to urgently intervene and pressure the Israeli occupation authorities to release Abu Hamid, who is battling cancer.

 

The Commission warned in a statement that the prisoner Abu Hamid was battling death as a result of his suffering from the consequences of a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in the lungs he underwent last October, when the occupation then returned him to the prison before he recovered.

 

Abu Hamid, 49 years old, from Al-Amari camp in Ramallah, has been detained since 2002 and is serving seven life sentences and an additional 50 years in prison. He has four brothers in jail who are also serving life sentences.
