PLO lies, saying that Israel neglects Palestinian prisoners' health and denies them medical treatment

Headline: “The [PLO] Commission [of Prisoners’ Affairs]: The occupation is deliberately neglecting the sick prisoners’ health”

“The [PLO] Commission of Prisoners and Released Prisoners’ Affairs said that the occupation’s Israeli Prison Service is deliberately neglecting the health of the sick prisoners and is preventing [them] from receiving the treatment they require (sic., see note below regarding the PA libel on medical abuse of Palestinian prisoners).”

Libel on medical abuse of Palestinian prisoners - The PA claims that Israel abuses Palestinian prisoners through medical neglect, medical experiments, and by intentionally infecting them with diseases. However, the International Red Cross regularly visits these prisoners and has not documented or accused Israel of any of these claims. Likewise, lists of demands occasionally issued by the prisoners during hunger strikes—such as during one in 2011—include no demands relating to these claims. PMW has documented prisoners talking about how they "lack nothing" in the prisons and that "the worst thing about Israeli prison" is riding in a prison vehicle that has no padding on the seat. When PMW contacted the Israeli Ministry of Health in 2007 regarding PA claims of medical experiments on prisoners, the ministry responded: "Clinical testing on prisoners in prison was never approved, never performed, and is most certainly not taking place at present."
