Banners calling on international and human rights institutions to urgently intervene to protect the prisoners in the occupation prisons.
In the same context, the spokesman for the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority, Hassan Abd Rabbo, said that the health condition of the prisoner Abu Hamid, who has been detained since 2002, has deteriorated significantly after entering a coma, as he suffers from a lack of immunity and does not respond to treatments and is still on artificial respirators.
