Prisoner's family from Gaza appeals for the release of its patient son

 

  Family of Palestinian prisoner Mustafa Ali Abu Haniyeh, from the Gaza Strip, appealed to international and human rights organizations to immediately intervene to save the life of its patient son and release him from the Israeli jails. The family of captive Abu Haniyeh, aged 40 from the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, called on the humanitarian and human rights organizations and the Red Cross to intervene and pressure the Israeli occupation authorities to release its son who suffers from several serious illnesses. Captive Abu Haniyeh is held now in Nafha prison. He is sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, of which he has already spent 9 years. His wife Maha confirmed that his health condition has been deteriorating, as he suffers from a stomach ulcer, breathing difficulties, and vision problems. She pointed out that the policy of medical neglect adopted by the Israeli prison administration had exacerbated the health condition of her husband. Mrs. Abu Haniyeh added that the prison authorities have recently transferred her ill husband to Nafha prison, and expressed concern about his condition, holding the occupation authorities fully responsible for his life.   The Israeli authorities detain in its jails nearly five thousand Palestinian prisoners, including 450 captives from the Gaza Strip, most of them are serving long terms.
