The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority said today, Monday, that the sick prisoner, Walid Daqqa, was urgently transferred to the Zionist Assaf Harofeh Hospital in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948.

The authority explained in a brief statement that there is no information received from the hospital about his current condition, knowing that his condition is very difficult.

Prisoner Daqqa was admitted to the hospital on March 23, 2023, after his health condition deteriorated sharply, following his diagnosis of myelofibrosis, a rare cancer that affects the bone marrow.

The prisoner Daqqa, who has been detained since March 25, 1986, is considered one of the most prominent prisoners in the occupation prisons, and he contributed in many ways in the detention life of the prisoners.

During his long career in detention, he produced many books, studies, and articles, and contributed cognitively to understanding the prison experience and resisting it.
