RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- The Israel Prison Service (IPS) released injured Palestinian prisoner Hassan al-Qadhi, 26, on Sunday evening, after completing a six-month prison sentence during which his gunshot wounds were allegedly improperly treated.

The Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs said in a statement on Sunday that al-Qadhi, a resident of the Awarta village in the northern occupied West Bank district of Nablus, was evacuated from the prison by ambulance to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.

Al-Qadhi was detained on June 10 near the entrance of his village after Israeli troops shot him several times for allegedly attempting to commit a stabbing attack the Awarta checkpoint.

No Israelis were injured during the alleged attack, while locals at the time claimed that al-Qadhi was riding a bike when Israeli forces shot him.

The sources added that al-Qadhi had been detained by Israeli forces on several occasions in the past, before being released after they determined that he was mentally disabled.

The committee highlighted in its statement on Sunday that al-Qadhi suffered from gunshot wounds in his back and foot, which he underwent surgery for at the time in an Israeli hospital.

Director of the committee Issa Qaraqe, who visited al-Qadhi upon arrival to Ramallah, accused Israeli forces of "implementing a systematic policy of killing the Palestinians or shooting at sensitive parts of their body."

Additionally, Qaraqe said that IPS does not properly treat injured Palestinians when they are in Israeli custody, and that "there is a deliberate policy of medical negligence against injured and sick Palestinian prisoners."

Prisoners rights group Addameer said in a January report that the policy of medical neglect in Israeli manifested in IPS “denying their responsibility in providing appropriate health care, and periodic medical checkups for prisoners and detainees.”

According to the group, since the beginning of the Second Intifada in 2000 until 2008, 17 Palestinian prisoners died in Israeli prisons and detention centers as a result of medical negligence.

During 2014, the number of ill persons among the prisoners and detainees increased to over 1,000, an increase compared with 800 sick cases in 2013, according to Addameer.
