Tension erupted Saturday morning, July 8, 2023, in Negev Prison following the deteriorating health of Raed Badwan, an elderly Palestinian prisoner, due to the policy of medical negligence pursued by the Israeli occupation.
The Prisoners’ Media Office reported that the tension at Negev Prison arose after the health of Badwan deteriorated due to the Israeli prison administration’s delay in transferring him for medical treatment.
Israeli forces frequently suppress Palestinian prisoners held in their prisons, conducting extensive search operations and vandalizing prisoners’ belongings.
The policy of medical negligence adds to the hardships endured by Palestinian prisoners and raises questions about the adherence to international standards of prisoner rights.
