"Controversy Surrounding the Death of Palestinian Prisoner Walid Daqqah in Israeli Custody"

Walid Daqqa, one of the longest-serving Palestinian prisoners in Israel, died of cancer at the age of 63 after nearly 38 years in custody. His case was unique, as he was continuously incarcerated since before the Oslo Accords. Daqqa's health had deteriorated in prison, and allegations of medical neglect and torture have been made. His death has sparked controversy, with Israeli police arresting mourners at a gathering and Amnesty International calling for a dignified burial for Daqqa.
