Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons began partially closing the prison's interior sections and disrupting life inside the prison in protest of the Ramla prison administration against cancer-stricken prisoner Walid Daqqa.

Daqqa was refused release by the Occupation authorities and was even barred from making phone calls to his family.

On Monday, the Captive Movement organized a protest in front of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) headquarters in Gaza to demand the recovery of the body of the martyr Sheikh Khader Adnan and the bodies of various martyrs that continue to be detained by the occupation.

Waed Association: Israeli Occupation seeks revenge against Walid Daqqa

The Waed Prisoners' Affairs Association reported on Saturday that Walid Daqqa's health continues to deteriorate as he remains bedridden at the Ramla Prison clinic. The Israeli Occupation rejected, once again, all efforts to release Daqqa, who had hopes of spending his final days outside the prison.

"The occupation's insistence on rejecting all solutions comes in a clear context of vengeance against the prisoner Daqqa and settling their account with him."

The association indicated that 17 prisoners in the Ramla Prison are currently ill and suffering from chronic illnesses. It also noted that adding Palestinian prisoner Asif Al-Rifai has been one of the most serious cases where cancer had spread throughout his body last month.

Daqqa's condition worsened as cancer spread throughout his entire body. However, Daqqa's health has worsened given the systematic medical neglect policy imposed by the Israeli Occupation. It is worth noting that Sheikh Khader Adnan was martyred in May due to the systematic medical neglect policies imposed by the Israeli Occupation.
