RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Palestinian prisoner Munadel Al-Sharkawi, from Jenin district, is unconscious round the clock due to the presence of a blood clot in his brain, representative of the prisoners in the Israeli Megiddo jail Banan Burhum said.

Burhum in a message on Saturday appealed, on behalf of all prisoners, to those concerned to extend necessary treatment to Sharkawi, blaming his condition on the Israeli prison authority's deliberate medical neglect policy.

Other prisoners in the same jail asked a visiting lawyer to publicize their rejection of the orange costume, which the prison administration is trying to impose on Palestinian prisoners.
