PA accuses Israel of committing “deliberate medical neglect” against prisoners

Headline: “A severe deterioration in the health of prisoner philosopher Walid Daqqa after he became sick with leukemia”

“Yesterday [Dec. 7, 2022], the [PA-funded] Prisoners’ Club said that a severe deterioration took place in the health of prisoner philosopher Walid Daqqa (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with accomplices), 60, from the town of Baqa Al-Gharbiya in the 1948 territories (i.e., Israel). In a press release, the Prisoners’ Club explained that prisoner Daqqa was evacuated to the Israeli Barzilai Hospital, and it became clear… that he had become sick with leukemia.

The Prisoners’ Club and the national prisoners’ movement with all its elements held the occupation’s Israeli Prison Service fully responsible for the health of prisoner Daqqa, which he reached as a result of the crime of deliberate medical neglect(slow murder) [parentheses in source], which is being committed against him and against his sick prisoner comrades over the course of decades (sic., see note below regarding PA libel on medical abuse of Palestinian prisoners).

It emphasized that prisoner Daqqa has suffered from blood issues for years, and they were not diagnosed at the time as cancer. The club added that approximately two years ago he was supposed to undergo periodic blood tests, but the Israeli Prison Service dragged its feet on the matter.”
