| 2010-03-09 |
| [Ma'an] The Palestinian Detainees Center on Monday called on human rights organizations to intervene for the release of a Palestinian prisoner suffering from cancer. The center said Kayed Hassan Hiron, from Nablus, was detained on 1 January 2003 and was sentenced to nine years. The Israeli Prison Service in Meggido prison transfered Hiron to Soroko Hospital, where his cancer diagnosis was confirmed and described as serious. Hiron's family were allowed to visit him in prison, where they told the center they noticed a deterioration in his health and said he required special treatment, which would only be made available to him upon his release. |

| #4 The Lockerbee bomber, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, was released from a Scottish prison based on his terminal prostate cancer. Last I heard he had showed remarkable improvement after release. |

| #3 I would think he is probably getting better treatment in a Israeli prison hospital than he can get in a palestinian hospital |
