CALL FOR ACTION
PALESTINIAN WITH MENINGITIS ARRESTED
On Thursday, April 21, at 10:00 pm, 30-year-old Jaber Dalny was arrested
at Huwara checkpoint after being held for 9.5 hours. He had been in the
hospital in Nablus for 5 days, and had been diagnosed with bacterial
meningitis. He was on his way home and his medical condition was
stable, but his wife, who was with him, reported that he became
delirious and weak after sitting in the sun for so many hours at the
checkpoint.
Jaber was taken to Salem, where he was seen by a doctor who diagnosed
him with an ulcer and determined that his "medical condition does not
bar arrest." Within the past day, other army doctors have reported that
he has "sensitivity in the chest area" and "a heart problem." After
being pushed, a DCO representative finally admitted that he has
bacterial meningitis. The family fears he is being interrogated and not
being given his proper medication. They do not know why he was
arrested.
Jaber has three young children and his wife is pregnant with their
fourth. Jaber's younger sister Samiya writes, "No one can describe this
case... I ask all the humanitarian activists and all of the peace
activists and Red Cross and the International Red Cross and human rights
organizations to intervene to release this person."
PLEASE CALL THE ISRAELI ARMY
Please call the Israeli army to demand that Jaber be given proper
medical care and that his family be notified about the reasons for his
arrest and how long he will be held. The family also requests that
people do everything in their power to make sure Jaber is immediately
and safely released.
