The Nafha Society for prisoners' rights on Tuesday reported that a Palestinian prisoner had been left temporarily paralyzed after being repeatedly interrogated over a two-week period.

The prisoner, Iamad Houtary, currently detained the al-Jamla prison, told a lawyer from the society that he has lost all feeling in his hands and is currently unable to move them.

The prisoner reprted that a doctor had told him that he was suffering from temporary paralysis and the feeling should return to his hands in one-to-two months.

The Nafha Society accused Israeli prison doctors of collaborating with Israeli interrogators, suggesting that doctors fail to administer proper treatment or inform prisoners of the true extent of their injuries.
