Abdel Nasser Farwana, a specialist in prisoners affairs, said today, Tuesday, that 222 prisoners are martyred after their arrest since 1967.
On the eve of the Palestinian Prisoner´s Day commemoration, Farouana said that 75 of the total number of martyrs were deliberately killed, while 7 others were martyred in prisons as a result of being shot, 67 as a result of medical negligence, and 73 as a result of torture.
He pointed out that hundreds of prisoners died after they were released from prison, as a result of diseases they inherited from prisons.
