14 years of waiting: Fiancée of Palestinian prisoner died in Israeli jails expresses her sorrow
Besieged Gaza Strip (QNN)- While she was in tears, the fiancée of Palestinian prisoner, Sami al-Amour, who died inside Israeli jails due to deliberate medical negligence, said it’s difficult for her to lose her life-partner.
“It feels difficult to lose him. It’s difficult for me to lose him. I’ve been waiting for his phone call!” she said while her facial expressions could say more about her sorrow.
“Oh my, I’m very tired. He was very tired. He was tired to death for two months. May Allah avenge me.”
The day before yesterday, she said, Sami called her and said he couldn’t speak well, but he told her to tell everyone that he’s fine.
“I’m in Ashkelon, near the hospital. I will contact you soon, God willing,” he said to his fiancée.
“He wanted to build a house and live his life,” she added.
“I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. They told us he was fine. I was shocked that he died,” Sami’s fiancée said.
“He’s gone. My dreams have faded. I have no dreams.”
39-year-old Sami al-Amour died in his prison cell at dawn on Thursday as a result of deliberate medical negligence by Israeli occupation administration prison after a serious deterioration in his health.
Al- Amour, from the city of Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, was detained in 2008 and sentenced to 19 years.
He suffered from a congenital heart disease but the Israeli deliberate medical negligence caused a serious deterioration in his health.
Several days ago, al-Amour was transferred from Nafha prison to Ashkelon prison. Later, he was transferred to Soroka hospital to have a surgery but it failed.
On Tuesday, al-Amour was taken to have a heart surgery before he was announced dead earlier today.
During his detention, the occupation deprived al-Amour of the visit of his family; his father visited him 3 times only during 14 years.
The occupation state is holding 550 ill political detainees in prisons and uses medical negligence against them as part of its policy to weaken them.
Since 1967, 227 Palestinian prisoners died inside the Israeli jails, 72 of them died due to deliberate medical negligence.
