Tulkarem
Ma'an – Released Palestinian female prisoner, Faten Daraghmeh, from Tulkarem in the occupied Palestinian West Bank, on Tuesday went into the operation room at Al Araby Hospital in Nablus, for the removal of a tumour from her neck.

Local sources have speculated that the tumour was caused by the daily torture which Daraghmeh suffered at the hands of the Israeli prison personnel.

Siima Anbas, another released prisoner, told Ma'an that Daraghmeh was brutally beaten by the Israeli soldiers from the day she was arrested until she was released.

"Daraghmeh, who was one of 256 prisoners recently released in an agreement between the PA and Israel, served three years of her five-year sentence and is suffering from terrible health. The type of tumour she has in her neck is unknown," said Anbas.
