"Riyad Al-Bustanji's life is at risk because he is not receiving the necessary care in his cell."
The appeal comes from the family and several associations to save the life of a 60-year-old Palestinian prisoner, an Islamic religious leader accused of raising funds for Hamas, held in the High Security 2 section of the Bancali prison in Sassari.
According to a statement from the associations Culleziu contra a la Gherra, Giovani Palestiniani Sardegna, and Amicizia Sardegna-Palestina, Riyad Al-Bustanji suffers from several medical conditions. "During his detention in Bancali, he is subjected to gross negligence that puts his life, health, and rights at risk," they write. "He suffers from frequent diabetic attacks and does not receive timely food or necessary medications, even though his medical condition does not allow for any delay or omission."
«Furthermore, he suffers from a prostate disease and is not receiving the necessary medical treatment, with the consequent risk of serious complications - the associations conclude - We demand that Riyad Al-Bustanji has immediate access to medical care, adequate nutrition, the right to communicate with his family and conditions of detention that respect his needs».
