Nablus / PNN – Among the thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisons is Mahmoud Saleh Sanakreh.
The 26 year old is ill and his family has sent a letter of appeal to Palestinian Minister of Detainees and Ex Detainees, Issa Qaraqe’ to push for his release.
Speaking from Balata Refugee Camp in the northern West Bank’s Nablus, the Sanakreh family says that Mahmoud’s health has worsened significantly.
His brother, Abdel-Moneim Sanakreh said today that Mahmoud was just 18 when he was arrested on the twentieth of August 2002. The young man suffered a broken left foot, and with severe pressure on the nerves, he is nearly unable to stand or sleep due to pain.
It has been five months since the family was allowed to visit, with all brothers and the mother banned for "reasons of security." They are communicating through other prisoners’ families who are able to visit, and via letters.
The family is asking that the Israelis allow Palestinian doctors to see their son, and that Minister Qaraqe’ work for his release.
