Israeli occupation authorities arrest 11 Jerusalemite prisoners in miserable conditions of detention, depriving them of their basic rights. 

Women prisoners in the Israeli prisons are subjected to harsh Israeli practices, torture, and repression. 

Prisoners are Shorouq Dweiat, Marah Bakair, Norhan Awwas, Israa Jaabis, Iman Al-Awar, Malak Salman, Amany Hushaim, Aisha Afghani, Fadwa Hamada, and Nawal Fteha. 

 

The health condition of Israa Jaabis is one of the riskiest inside the Israeli prisons. She is in severe need of an operation on the hands, ears, and face, and to be healed from burns, but the prison's administration keeps delaying providing the medicine. 

Israeli occupation deprives four of the prisoners of seeing their children. Jaabis is a mother for a child, Al-Awas is a mother for 6 sons and a daughter and Hamada has 5 children. 

Jaabis, sentenced to 11 years of prison, suffers from pains and overheating in her skin as 60% of her body was burned by Israel's fires shot at her car in 2015. Hence, she is unable to wear fabrics or covers.

35 females prisoners in Damon prison call for improving their miserable, harsh conditions of detention, but the prison's administration continues to delay.

Severe suffering

Prisoners' Families Commission stated that the Jerusalemite prisoners suffer from very hard conditions of detention, and are deprived of meeting their relatives due to the coronavirus spread. 

Israel keeps targeting the female prisoners and depriving them of contacting their relatives or even lawyers, providing them with bad food, and violating their privacy by setting cameras in their cells, according to the commission. 

Israeli occupation authorities impose high sentences on the female prisoners. Shorouq Dweiat is sentenced to 16 years of prison.

They adopt the policy of torture, repression, and deprivation of meeting visitors to force the Palestinian resistance to make a deal of prisoner exchange. 

"The world has to intervene and force Israel to release those female prisoners and to provide them with protection for their lives and rights," the commission said. 

Head of Prisoner's Center for Studies called on human rights, international, and humanitarian institutions to force Israel to stop violating those 35 female prisoners. 

He said, on Women International Day, that the cause of the Palestinian prisoners will remain a bleeding wound that would never heal. 

"The administration of Israeli prisons commit dozens of attacks against the female prisoners, implement medical negligence, ban the entry of their needs to the cells, treat them bad, prevent receiving visitors, and impose fines" he added.
