Israeli prison services cut off the power supply to sick prisoners' wards in Al-Ramla Prison on Saturday, a lawyer for the Palestinian Prisoner Affairs Committee said.
Hanan al-Khatib, a committee lawyer, said that the power was cut for more than 12 hours as a punitive measure, adding that Israeli authorities were claiming the power cut was carried out for maintenance purposes.
She said that the cut was "immoral and inhumane" and was aimed at breaking down the determination of sick detainees.
Sick prisoners in the al-Ramla jail suffer from illnesses including paralysis, cancer and liver diseases. more
