Askalan prisoners appeal for saving life of detainee

Prisoners in the Israeli prison of Askalan have appealed to the Red Cross and human rights groups to provide necessary medical treatment for detainee Shadi Mousa who is in need of an urgent surgery.

The prisoners in a message on Sunday said that Shadi was hit with a bullet in his head six months ago during his arrest and his condition was “very difficult”.

They said that the Israeli prison authority was delaying his treatment, affirming that ignoring his case would lead to his death in prison.
