Palestinian ‘doctor of the poor’ says he faces abuse, medical neglect in Israeli prison

Dr. Mazen Rantisi, a Palestinian physician known for providing care to low-income Palestinians, alleges physical abuse and medical neglect since his arrest by Israeli authorities in June. He claims prison officials withheld his medication, denied medical care, and subjected him to harsh conditions, including overcrowded cells and poor food quality. The Israel Prison Service denies these allegations, stating prisoners are held in accordance with the law.
