Prisoner claims prison doctor "tried to murder him in cold blood"
“Prisoner Alaa Al-Hams from Rafah confirmed that a doctor in the Eshel prison clinic tried to murder him in cold blood. Al-Hams said the prison doctor lifted him high up, and [then] threw him on the ground several times while he and those with him laughed, cursed and screamed. This prompted the prisoner accompanying him to attempt to strike them…
A human rights organization that defends prisoners in the occupation prisons noted that prisoner Al-Hams had sent them a letter stating that he was still suffering from strong pain in his abdomen and very low blood pressure and that the Eshel prison doctor refused to help him, mocked him and his pain and told him he was a liar who was not suffering from any pain.
Even though the prisoner had described the nature of his pain and the medication necessary [to alleviate it], the doctor refused to listen to him and continued to mock him until the prisoner was stricken with spasms in his legs, hands and face… the doctor was [then] forced to help him and conduct the necessary tests…
It should be noted that sick prisoner Al-Hams (35) from Rafah, is married and has four children. He has been in prison since 2009 and has been sentenced to 18 years for attempting to kidnap a soldier.”
