Occupied Jerusalem - SANA

"My mother was eager to see him and embrace him .. and to darken her eyes with the hero before his martyrdom .. But the occupation prevented her from visiting him .. a year ago, cancer ravaged his throat and his health conditions worsened as a result of the deliberate medical negligence that the Israeli occupation follows against the prisoners."

Kamal Fighter ... and an icon of patience and the challenge of the occupation that has practiced all kinds of physical and psychological torture against him since his arrest in April 2003 ... I would have liked to see him .. Messages were our only way to communicate with him after he lost his speech. Because of throat cancer .. all messages were reflecting his steadfastness and steadfastness .. He was not broken by restriction or disease, even though they met him at the same time.

Abu Waer explained that the occupation’s intention to kill his brother as a result of deliberate medical negligence is a new crime to be added to the Israeli occupation’s record of crimes against the Palestinians, pointing out that these crimes will continue in light of the US’s absolute support for the occupation and its protection in the UN Security Council while the international community remains silent without moving a finger.
