The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees' Affairs expressed its deep concern about the increasing medical violations pursued by the administrations of Israeli prisons against sick and wounded detainees who are currently imprisoned in various Israeli jails, in which they are targeted with neglecting their health conditions.
The Commission monitored one of these cases at Ashkelon prison, the case of the 38-year-old detainee Rami Ibrahim Khalil Hijazi, from Tal Al-Hawa southwest of Gaza Strip. Hijazi suffers from a deflection in the spine many years ago, which causes severe pain and hindering his ability to move. The administration of prison gives him painkiller as an alternative of treatment.
The Commission stated that he gets transferred to the clinic of Beersheba prison from time to time to have Physiotherapy sessions, but sometimes Hijazi refuses to go to the clinic, just like his colleges in prison. This refusal is to avert the conditions of transfer by the Bosta car, where they are exposed to degrading treatment and spend long hours setting on iron chairs which worsens his health conditions.
 It is worth mentioning that the detainee Hijazi is detained since 2002 and sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment.
