🚨 "Do not forget your prisoners, those you left behind — raise their voices high, for we are dying in the prisons." - prisoner Ayman Al-Haj Yahya
Palestinian prisoners in the Naqab Desert Prison issued an urgent appeal to all human rights and humanitarian bodies to save the life of prisoner Ayman Al-Haj Yahya, a resident of the city of Taybe in the Palestinian interior, from certain death.
According to the Prisoners Media Office, prisoner Ayman, with sincere words, is counting his last days, and news of his martyrdom could be announced at any moment in light of the deliberate medical neglect.
Ayman, held in Section 25, Room 10, is sentenced to six years in prison, of which he has served about two years so far.
He suffers from an extremely critical health condition, as he suffered a stroke inside the prison, which led to complete loss of movement and sensation in his upper and lower limbs, in addition to severe visual weakness. His facial features have changed, and one of his eyes has turned white.
The prisoners staying with him in the same room requested the prison administration to transfer him for treatment, but the administration refused to respond. This pushed them to wait until "recreation time" to take him out of the room and place him at its door, and they refused to bring him back inside, in an attempt to pressure the administration to transfer him to the clinic or provide the necessary treatment.
After repeated attempts from the prisoners and communication with the responsible officer, a pharmacist came to the room, measured the prisoner's vital signs — blood pressure, temperature, and oxygen — and told them he was not suffering from anything, despite the prisoner at that moment having lost memory and movement, and being unaware of what was going on around him.
Prisoner Ayman was taken in a humiliating manner, where his hands and feet were shackled, he was lifted by the cuffs in a painful way, and placed on an iron bed unfit for human use, then transferred to the clinic.
His cellmates were informed that he had been transferred for treatment and would not be returned to the section, but after a few hours, he was returned to his cell in a wheelchair — and then the wheelchair was taken with them, leaving the prisoners in a state of shock and deep concern about his health condition, and their inability to offer him any assistance.
The prisoners refused to let him back into the room due to the severity of his condition, which forced the prison administration to take him away again — but this time, the prisoners do not know whether he was transferred for treatment, to another section, or to an unknown place.
Prisoner Ayman and his fellow prisoners appeal to:
Prisoner institutions, human rights organizations, Palestinian factions, all people of conscience, and his brothers and freed prisoner friends — to exert every possible effort to get him out from the depths and darkness of the prison.
Ayman addresses his freed brothers, saying:
"Do not forget your prisoners, those you left behind — raise their voices high, for we are dying in the prisons."
