The health of an American teenager, who has been illegally detained by Israel wihout trial since February, has been rapidly deteriorating, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday.
Mohammed Ibrahim, 16, from Florida, was detained after he was accused of throwing rocks at Israeli settlers near Ramallah in the West Bank, a claim he has denied according to Israeli interrogation videos.
However, he continues to be imprisoned and denied visitation or telephone rights from his family, his father and uncle told Al Jazeera.
His family have received reports that he has suffered from significant weight loss and currently has scabies.
Ibrahim is the first cousin of US citizen Sayfollah Musallet, who was violently beaten and prevented from accessing medical care by Israeli settlers in July in the West Bank. Musallet died of his injuries later that day.
