Adam Mohammad, who is ill with leukemia, is recognized by the UN as a refugee and was one of 500 Sudanese refugees who were granted legal status in Israel by the prime minister.
Unfortunately for Mohammad, he was undergoing medical treatments for cancer on the day most of the refugees were released from Ketziot jail and received their new status.
Having missed the release date, he is still a prisoner at Ketziot, leaving the premises only for treatment sessions at Soroka Medical Center.
