Hamas official Wasfi Kubha called Wednesday on all sides to act in support of Palestinian detainee Bassam al-Sayeh, who was transferred to the intensive care unit for his critical health condition.

In a press release, Kubha urged Palestinian Ministry of Prisoners’ Affairs, Palestinian Prisoners' Club along with all national factions to put pressure on the Israeli occupation to release al-Sayeh immediately, who suffers from three different types of cancer.

Kubha explained that al-Sayeh should have been brought to court for early release, but the Israeli occupation was temporising, regretting the human rights groups’ failure to raise al-Sayeh’s issue.

The former Minister of Prisoners' Affairs stressed that the issue of sick Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons is a thorny question in the Palestinian cause.
