Palestinian freedom fighter Nasser Abu Hmaid died medical negligence in occupation prison

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Dec. 20 (YPA) – The Palestinian prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid (50 years old) has died at dawn today, Tuesday, at “Assaf Harofeh” Hospital, as a result of the deliberate medical killing policy followed by Israeli occupation prison administration against sick prisoners, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Commission.

The commission said that the Cancer-stricken Palestinian freedom fighter, Nasser Abu Hmaid, 50, was declared dead this morning after battling cancer for several years, due to years of medical negligence.

It said that Abu Hmeid, who entered into a coma two days ago and was yesterday transferred from Ramle clinic prison, where he has been kept, to a hospital in Israel, has died.

Abu Hmaid, from Amari refugee camp in Ramallah and serving multiple life terms for resisting the Israeli occupation, was diagnosed with lung cancer in August of last year.

Several attempts to get him released to get treatment outside the prison have failed.
