The prisoners´ club announced the death of Kamal Abu Waer, 46, a resident of the town of Qabatiya in Jenin, after his health deteriorated from cancer.
The head of the Prisoners´ Affairs Committee, Qadri Abu Bakr, confirmed the martyrdom of the sick prisoner Kamal Abu Wair earlier in the Israeli hospital "Kaplan".
He said that the prison administration informed the prisoners in The Negev and Rimon prisons of the martyrdom of Abu Waer.
Abu Wa´ar, born in 1974, suffered from throat cancer at the end of last year, and his health was aggravated by the harsh conditions of detention he suffered, and the Occupation Prisons Administration announced that he was infected with the coronavirus in July, after he was transferred from The Gilboa prison where he was staying. At the time, he was taken to an occupation hospital, and he underwent surgery to put on a breathing tube, and was transferred by the prison administration and within its taqueal procedures and shortly afterwards to the so-called "Ramla Clinic" prison to raise him today as a martyr in the hospital "Assaf Harofi", shortly after he suffered a new tumor in the throat.
Born on July 25, 1974 in Kuwait, the prisoner Kamal Abu Wa´ar was born in Kuwait and his family returned to Palestine for five years, the second son of a family of six living in the village of Qabatiya in Jenin.
Kamal completed high school, joined the 17th Forces, and the occupation continued to hunt him down for three years for resisting the occupation before his arrest in 2003, and was subjected to a harsh investigation that lasted more than 100 days in a row, and the occupation sentenced him to repeated life imprisonment 6 times, and 50 years.
The occupation prevented his family from visiting him for three consecutive years after his arrest, and only about a year before his brothers were allowed to visit him.
Abu Wa´ar participated in all open hunger strikes, including support, most recently in 2017.
Abu Waer suffered from previous blood problems during his detention, and was able to treat them, but at the end of 2019, his health began to gradually deteriorate, until he was diagnosed with cancer in the larynx, and began to confront cancer in difficult and harsh conditions of detention, and during the past months his health has worsened rapidly, until I cite today.
The Prisoner´s Club confirmed that the prisoner Kamal Abu Wa´er was subjected to a new crime, in addition to a long series of ongoing crimes of occupation against our prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons.
This brings the number of martyrs of the movement captured since 1967 to 226.
