STORYLINE:

Hundreds of Palestinians marched today in the center of Nablus city in the occupied West Bank, demanding the Israeli authorities to release Nasser Abu Hmeid, a Palestinian patient of cancer serving a life in Israeli prisons who is currently on the verge of death.

The protesters, who gathered outside the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) office in the city, waved Palestinian flags and banners calling for Abu Hmeid’s immediate release due to his critical health condition, exacerbated by the Israeli policy of medical negligence.

Abu Hmeid, 49, from Amari refugee camp in Ramallah, entered into a coma earlier this year after suffering a severe inflammation of the lungs as a result of bacterial contamination. He’s currently battling death at the infamous Israeli Ramla Prison Clinic.

Hasan Abed Rabbo, a spokesman for the PLO Detainees Affairs Commission, has told WAFA that the occupation authorities have practiced medical negligence against Abu Hmeid, and that during the past two months he has not received any treatment.
