Health of detained mother deteriorates in captivity

AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- The son of 53-year-old Salwa Hassan from Al-Khalil has appealed to human rights groups to demand the release of his mother from Israeli custody after her health badly deteriorated.

Ibrahim said that Israel has banned visits to his mother ever since her arrest four months ago and that her health worsened in Hasharon jail after its administration refused to provide her with medical help.

He told Quds Press that his mother suffers from a number of diseases and the Hasharon administration refuses to transfer her to hospital.

Ibrahim said that his mother suffered from those diseases before her arrest but her condition worsened due to the bad incarceration conditions especially in the winter weather.
