The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Committee said on Friday that the representative of sick prisoners in the Ramleh prison clinic, prisoner Iyad Radwan, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison, has entered his nineteenth year in the Israeli prisons.

The committee stated that Radwan, who has been detained since 2003 and is from the city of Tulkarm, carries out a daily lofty message for which he deserves the most wonderful medals, as he has been serving and caring for all sick and injured prisoners for years in the Ramleh prison clinic.

Radwan said during the visit of the committee’s lawyer yesterday that “11 sick prisoners are languishing in Ramleh Hospital, suffering from psychological, physical, and health fatigue and the majority of them are injured and disabled, and those with serious diseases such as cancer are constantly needed to take care of them from food, drink, medication, clothing, and following up on all the details of their daily life," according to the committee’s statement issued today.

"The severe pain and continuous pain of these people necessitate that we all need to move the file of sick prisoners at all legal, political and human rights levels, and pressure to release them, as these cases are serious and liable to die at any moment, because the conditions of Ramleh Hospital, which lacks all the medical facilities, are very bad and harsh and It is nothing, but a slaughterhouse," Radwan added.
