July 26, 2006

Amman-Ma'an-The head of the Committee for Jordanian prisoners' families, Salih Al-Ajloni, announced that the longest detained Jordanian prisoner in Israeli jails, Sultan Al-Ajloni, was transferred from Ramla prison hospital to another Israeli hospital, Assaf Harofeh, because of a collapse in his health condition.

The lawyer of The Prisoner's Supporters Society, Muhammad 'Abda, visited the Jordanian prisoner to check up on his health. A medical report showed that he suffered from fever for a month which is a sign that severe enteritis has caused a hole in his intestine. He urgently needs surgery.

Ajloni was arrested after an operation he performed while he was 17 years old in retaliation for the Al-Aqsa massacre of 1990.

In the Israeli jails there are 30 Jordanian detainees of whom 8 are sentenced to life imprisonment. Four of those prisoners were abducted before Oslo: Sultan Al-Ajloni, Amin As-Sani', Salem and Khalid Abu Ghalyon. In addition, there are 25 Jordanians whose fate remains unknown and Israel does not acknowledge killing or capturing them.
