BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

    The Palestinian National Council calls for prisoner release of Abu Hamid

The Palestinian National Council called on international human rights institutions, led by the Red Cross, to intervene for the immediate release of prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid, who has entered a critical stage of lung cancer and is in need of urgent care outside the Israeli prison hospitals.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) reported on Sunday that prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid's health condition is experiencing a new decline.

In a press statement on Wednesday, the council considered that the occupation's refusal to release Abu Hamid and the rest of the sick prisoners and allow them to receive medical care is a violation of the prisoners' human rights.

The council also stressed that this constitutes a flagrant violation of Articles 13 and 15 of the Geneva Convention, (Humane treatment of prisoners, and Maintenance of prisoners.)

The National Council called on parliaments in the world to take necessary measures to pressure their governments to intervene in order to stop the suffering of the prisoner Abu Hamid and all sick prisoners in occupation prisons and to release them.

The Council detailed that more than 600 prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons are facing medical neglect, including 4 cancer patients, and at least 14 prisoners with varying tumors.

Prisoners Club: Prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid's life in danger

PPC Spokesperson Amani Sarahena told the WAFA news agency that the Israeli occupation's prison service told Asqalan prisons detainees, where Abu Hamid had been detained before he was transferred to "Barzilai" hospital, that his life is in real danger, which confirms that his health is experiencing a new decline.

In a statement, the PPC confirmed a state of extreme tension in Askalan Prison after informing the prison's administration that Abu Hamid's health condition is critical. The statement affirmed that "the prison administration's 'slow murder' policy through medical negligence of the sick is what brought Abu Hamid to this critical stage."

Nasser Abu Hamid, from Al-Amari camp, Ramallah, is one of five brothers who were [all] sentenced to life by the Israeli authorities. They are: Nasr, Nasser, Sharif, and Mohammad, as well as Islam, who was arrested in 2018. The sixth brother is a martyr, Abdel Moneim Abu Hamid. Their mother was deprived of visiting them for years, they lost their father during detention, and their family home was demolished 5 times - the last of which was in 2019.

Waed Association: Abu Hamid is subjected to a deliberate assassination

Waed Association for Prisoners strongly denounced the policy of “medical negligence to which cancer-stricken Prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid and all the prisoners were subjected”, stressing that Abu Hamid is “subjected to a systematic and deliberate assassination.”

The association added that Abu Hamid “is facing his fate alone in light of the failure of international institutions concerned with the rights of prisoners.”

“The martyrdom of dozens of Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli prisons indicates that the occupation has gone beyond the stage of medical negligence and is deliberately and systematically assassinating the prisoners,” the association warned.
