The Commission of Detainees' Affairs stated that the prisons' administration provided the sick detainee Muhammad Barrash an expired medication, and he is currently held at Ashkelon prison.

Barrash told the lawyer of the commission that he discovered before two weeks that the prisons' administration had provided him with an expired medicine of cholesterol, and he informed the administration of Ashkelon prison, but in vain.

The commission pointed out that the detainee Barrash is one of the difficult medical cases in Israeli prisons, and giving him an expired medication will affect him and worsen his health condition, especially that he suffers from many chronic diseases and needs special care. Moreover, his left leg is amputated, his sight is very week, and he suffers from loss of hearing due to ulcers in his ears.

He needs an urgent surgery in his ears, and there is a defect in his lamb which needs a special examination. However, the administration of Ashkelon prison procrastinates in providing him the appropriate medical care.

It is worthy to mention that Barrash (44 years) is from Amaari camp/Ramallah, and he is detained since 2003 and sentenced to life imprisonment.
