PLO falsely accuses Israel of having a “deliberate and systematic policy of medical neglect” in prisons
Headline: “Cancer patient prisoner Kamal Abu Wa’er has contracted the Coronavirus”
“The [PLO] Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs reported today, Sunday [July 12, 2020], that cancer patient prisoner Kamal Abu Wa’er (i.e., terrorist, involved in murder of at least 4), 46, from Jenin, has contracted the Coronavirus and is currently in the Assaf Harofeh Hospital.
The commission said that Israel’s deliberate and systematic policy of medical neglect and negligence is what has made the prisoners a target for the Coronavirus and all the dangerous epidemics and illnesses that are killing them…
The commission said: ‘Prisoner Abu Wa’er, who is suffering from throat cancer and is in a serious and complicated condition, was transferred last Tuesday from the Gilboa Prison to a hospital in Afula for a number of tests, including a Coronavirus test, and it turned out that he was not sick… Later he was transferred to Assaf Harofeh [Hospital] for a number of tests, including a Coronavirus test, and it turned out that he had contracted the virus.’
It should be noted that after his contraction [of the virus] was confirmed, prisoner Abu Wa’er, prisoners of his wing of the Gilboa Prison, the prison manager, and 23 prison guards were put into quarantine.”
