Lawyer: Palestinian prisoner hospitalized in Israel

BETHLEHEM (Ma?an) -- Israeli authorities have transferred a Palestinian prisoner from Ramle prison clinic to a civilian hospital in central Israel, a lawyer said on Friday.

Alaa Addin Talal Hassouna from Hebron was taken to Assaf Harofeh Medical Center after a serious deterioration in his condition, Fadi Ubeidat of the Palestinian Authority?s prisoners ministry said.

Hassouna, 35, suffers from heart trouble after undergoing surgery, Ubeidat said.

The prisoner has been serving an 8-year sentence since October 2004. Israel refused to release him after he completed two thirds of his sentence despite his health troubles, Ubeidat added.

The Palestinian Authority is waging a diplomatic campaign for the release of prisoners with medical conditions, as well as those detained before the 1993 Oslo Accords.

Some 4,600 Palestinians are held by Israel in jails in the occupied West Bank and inside Israel.
