Palestinian prisoner Riyadh Al-Amor, 42, was given wrong injection at the Ramle prison hospital that worsened his health condition, human rights sources said on Saturday.

The sources said that Amor was rushed to Ramle a week ago from his Eshel prison cell after his health deteriorated.

They said that the prisoner, who suffers from heart problems and is in need of a pacemaker, could not walk or move properly after the injection.

The sources noted that Amor was being held in the new ward in Ramle, which they described as a “grave”.

Amor, who is serving 11 life sentences, is married and has five children and has been detained since May 2003.
