NABLUS, (PIC)-- A skin disease has spread among Palestinian prisoners in one of the wards in the Israeli Askalan jail with no medical treatment accorded by the prison administration, prisoner Abdul Hakim Hanani said.
The prisoner told the lawyer of the international Tadamun (solidarity) for human rights that the 220 prisoners in Askalan had boycotted the clinic because of the deliberate medical neglect and delay in providing treatment.
He said that the prisoners were buying their meals from the cantina because the homicide convicts are preparing the prison meals.
The internee said that the prison administration crams 18 detainees in one room with only one toilet while the room was originally designed to accommodate only 12.
He said that 20 old serving prisoners are pending high hopes on the much deliberated prisoners' exchange deal to secure their release.
Hanani, who is from Beit Dajan village, Nablus district, was arrested in 1993 and is serving a life sentence.
