The statement said that the family members were very much concerned with the health of Saad and do not know anything about his condition.

They asked all those concerned with the affairs of Palestinian prisoners in IPA jails to exert all efforts possible to bring the twin brothers together in one jail and to appease their fears about their health conditions.

Ra'fat Hamdona, the director of the prisoners' center for studies, has said that detaining brothers in one jail was always the norm in jails.

Hamdona further said that the lives of tens of Palestinian detainees were in jeopardy because of the IPA medical neglect of their diseases.

Hamdona asked the media to expose the IPA practices against Palestinian captives and to demand international intervention to save their lives.
