Hamas mourns death of Lubada

GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement has mourned in an announcement the death of its official Zuhair Lubada who died Thursday morning in the hospital he was transferred to after his release from an Israeli jail a few days ago.

Its spokesman Fawzi Barhoum told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Lubada was a resistance hero, a prominent figure of Hamas and one of Marj Azzuhour exiles.

Spokesman Barhoum said the death of Lubada reflected the size of prisoners' suffering in Israeli jails and how they are medically neglected.

The spokesman called on the international community and organizations to pay attention to the issue of Palestinian patients in Israeli jails and intervene to have them return safely and in one piece to their families.

For its part, the prisoner center for studies held the Israeli government fully responsible for the death of prisoner Lubada after his release from one of its jails.

In a press release, director of the center Ra'fat Hamdouna called for moving at the international level to expose Israel's violations against Palestinian prisoners and its disregard for human lives and to take legal action against it.

Hamdouna affirmed that the death of Lubada activated the file of Palestinian patients in Israeli jails, especially as a result of the deliberate medical neglect and the death of a number of patients soon after their release.
