RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Palestinian prisoner Riyadh Amour said that the detainees in the Ramla prison infirmary are medically neglected and their health conditions deteriorate everyday physically and psychologically.
"The life in this hospital is unbearable. We'd rather be executed by Israel and rest forever or provided with proper hospitalization and medication. We can no longer stay here enduring pain and psychological stresses," Amour, a heart patient in Ramla jail, stated in a letter he gave to his lawyer.
"The situation has become worse than ever; the prison administration does not respond to the demands of the detained patients and their rights are always neglected and diminished," Amour complained.
"The chronic medical conditions have become hopeless cases and this reflected badly on their psychological status making them sleepless and unable to live without painkillers," he added.
"There are prisoners whose wounds have got rotten due to inadequate treatment like the cases of prisoners Samer Awaisat and Ahmed Awad who is fitted with waste hose as a result of their exposure to gunshots," the prisoner elaborated.

According to him, prisoner Mansour Mukida, paralyzed, is also in heartbreaking condition living on painkillers and constantly suffering from fainting spells and nervous twitches, while prisoner Nahid Al-Aqra suffers from insomnia and his right foot rotted and now needs amputation.
Many other prisoners also suffer from difficult health conditions and receive no appropriate medical care in the infirmary of Ramla jail, his letter stated.
