A stand in Tulkarm in support of the Palestinian prisoners in the occupation’s prisons

Hundreds of Palestinians, during a solidarity stand in the city of Tulkarm in the West Bank today, called on the international community, human rights and humanitarian institutions and the International Red Cross to urgently intervene to save the lives of prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, especially the sick and those on hunger strike.

According to Wafa Agency, the participants in the weekly vigil in front of the Red Cross office stressed the need to continue the support and solidarity with the prisoners in light of the violations and brutal practices the detainees are subjected to by the occupation authorities, amid deliberate medical neglect against them.

Ibrahim Al-Nimr, director of the Prisoners’ Club office in Tulkarm, said that sick prisoners in the occupation’s detention centers, such as the case of Musa Soufan, whose body is being ravaged by cancer, Nasser Abu Hamid, Mutassim Raddad, Nasser Al-Shawish, Fouad Al-Shobaki and other patients, urgently need treatment and transfer to hospitals in the West Bank, but the occupation authorities continue to be intransigent, which calls for action and serious efforts by the international human rights institutions to pressure the occupation to release the prisoners as soon as possible.
