2015-06-10 ISRAEL: Hunger striking Palestinian detainee is hand and leg cuffed during hospital treatment
=====================
Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (רופאים לזכויות אדם - ישראל) reports that hunger striking detainee (without trial) Hader Adnan Musa was hospitalized, and is hand and leg cuffed in his hospital bed. Additionally, three policemen are guarding him 24/7. The NGO notes that other Israeli hospitals demanded the uncuffing of hunger strikers during their hospitalization, and the Israeli authorities consented. Therefore, the NGO concludes that the hand- and leg cuffing of hunger strikers was arbitrary, and was not the outcome of security needs.
The NGO expressed its disappointment with the conduct of Asaf HaRofeh hospital, which did not require the uncuffing of the detainee during hospitalization.
