SALFIT, (PIC)-- The family of a Palestinian prisoner has appealed for his release from Israeli occupation jails after his health condition gravely worsened after suffering a brain stroke that paralyzed the left part of his body.

The family called for the immediate release of Zahran Abu Osba before further deterioration of his condition.

The lawyer of the Palestinian prisoner's club said that Zahran, who is serving a 14-year imprisonment term, was suffering from numbness in the head causing pressure on the eyes.

He added that the pressure led to temporary blindness, and underlined that the Ramle prison doctor could not diagnose his case.

Meanwhile, three Palestinian female prisoners in Israeli jails, all minors, have complained of the Israeli Nahshon unit's maltreatment during their transport to court and back to jail.

In another context, the IOF soldiers on Friday detained a Palestinian young woman at the Hamra military barrier in the Jordan Valley at the pretext they found a knife in her possession. In a similar incident a couple of days ago the IOF soldiers detained a Palestinian woman for 24 hours for carrying a kitchen knife in her bag at one of the Ramallah roadblocks.

Four other Palestinian youths were rounded up in the Nablus district on Friday evening including a university student.
