Detainees at the Ofer Israeli detention facility demanded human rights groups to intervene and save the life of detainee Maher Rajoub, 33, from Dour south of Hebron, after he suffered a fractured spine while being transferred to court.

One of the detainees told the Ma'an News Agency that Rajoub suffered a fracture in his spine two weeks ago while being moved from Atzion interrogation center to an Israeli court.

He was then moved to Hadassah Israeli hospital in Jerusalem but was released shortly afterwards without receiving the needed treatment .

He is now back at the Ofer detention facility suffering extreme pain in his spine, and barely able to move his body.

Rajoub was taken by the Israeli army on May 31, 2010, after the soldiers broke into his home in Doura, and searched it causing damage.
