JENIN, (PIC)– The Israeli prison service (IPS) refused to allow a badly needed surgery for a prisoner from Jenin without presence of guards, which exacerbated his condition.
Ahmed Abul Rub, 40, said that he was in bad need of a surgery in his neck, adding that the IPS was refusing to give him a permit unless guards attended his treatment, which was rejected by the Makased hospital.
He said that the hospital administration said that the procedure ran contrary to medical and humanitarian rights.
Abul Rub appealed to all human rights groups to intervene for his sake and to pressure the IPS into allowing his treatment without the presence of guards since his condition was deteriorating.
