RAMALLAH, Palestine
A Palestinian detainee has died in Israeli prison, a local NGO said Tuesday, blaming the death on medical negligence.
“Sami Abu Diak, 37, died in Assaf Harofeh medical center where he was transferred after his health has deteriorated,” the Palestinian Prisoner Society said in a statement.
Abu Diak, from the West Bank city of Jenin, was detained by Israeli forces in 2002 and sentenced to three lifetimes in prison.
According to the NGO, Abu Diak suffered a medical error after undergoing a failed surgery at the Israeli Soroka hospital, where part of his intestine has been removed.
