🔴 Legal Tragedy: Lawyer “Najaḥ Mubārak” Dies in Custody After a Struggle With Acute Kidney Failure and Denial of Medical Care

The legal and rights community mourns the news of the death of lawyer Mr. “Najaḥ Muḥammad Mubārak” inside his place of detention, following a severe deterioration in his health and a harsh struggle with his illness—acute kidney failure—amid allegations that he was systematically deprived of the necessary treatment and medical care.

📌 Details of the tragedy and calls for help that were ignored:

Acute deterioration and medical neglect: In the recent period, his condition worsened dangerously, and he urgently needed regular treatment and a specialized hospital, yet there was no response from the prison administration.

Calls for help published with no avail: Two weeks before his death, appeals for help and urgent warnings were issued about the danger of his health condition, demanding that he be transferred immediately to a hospital. However, the authorities in custody ignored these demands until he passed away.

Undermining the dignity of lawyers: The incident once again sheds light on what members of the legal profession and detained patients face—medical neglect that leads to families and children losing them.

⚖️ Al-Shehab Center’s Demands:

Independent judicial investigation: The Public Prosecution is urged to open an independent and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Najaḥ Mubārak and to determine the reasons he was not transferred to a hospital.

Accountability for those involved: Identify criminal and administrative responsibility for medical neglect and for depriving the deceased of treatment and medications, and hold those responsible to account.

Guaranteeing the right to treatment and care: Provide immediate and critical healthcare for all detainees and facilitate the transfer of critical cases to specialized hospitals.

Reparation for harm and transparency: Inform the family of the deceased of the complete medical reports and ensure their right to access justice and accountability.
