NABLUS, (PIC)-- The Nafha legal society that caters for the affairs of Palestinian captives in Israeli jails has condemned the Israeli deliberate medical neglect of Palestinian captive Maher Ata Dandan that led to his death.

“This is a slow death law applied against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails”, the society charged in a statement it issued in condemnation of Dandan’s death, holding the IOA responsible for the captive's sad end.

According to the society’s records, Dnadan, 38, was suffering diseases in his blood and that he had made several appeals to the Israeli prison authority (IPA) to grant him proper medical treatment as sanctioned by international laws and conventions regarding prisoners, but his appeals fell into deaf ear.

He died of severe heart attack although he had begged the IPA to extend a helping hand for him after he felt difficulty in breathing hours before he passed away.

Around 188 Palestinian captives had died in Israeli jails, at least 44 of them due to deliberate medical neglect, sources in the PA ministry of prisoners’ affairs revealed.

As this developed, the society called on international and local human rights and legal institution to put pressure on the IOA to attend to the captives’ medical needs, and called on them to expose Israel’s inhuman policy in this regard.

It also urged the international community to regard the Hebrew state as an “outlawed” state for not respecting agreements and conventions of the international community when it deals with the Palestinian people.

Family of the dead prisoner will receive his body from the infamous Jalabo prison in the 1948-occupied Palestinian city of Yafa after the IPA informed them of their son’s death.
