The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club said that the detainee, Shaima Rawajbeh (25 years old) from Nablus, suffers from extremely difficult health conditions that have greatly worsened after her arrest.

In a joint statement issued today, Monday, the Commission and the Prisoners Club held the Israeli Prison Service fully responsible for the fate and life of the detainee Rawajbeh.

They pointed out that Rawajbeh, who has been administratively detained since last April, was arrested while suffering from a fracture in one of her feet a week before her arrest. A month later, the cast was removed, but today she suffers from severe muscle weakness, to the point that the situation has worsened and she is no longer able to walk, as she has become completely dependent on the detainees to meet her needs.

The Authority and the Club added that her suffering did not stop there, as she suffers from severe stomach problems, to the point that she is no longer able to eat any type of so-called (meals) and vomits constantly, which led to her suffering from severe weight loss.

They continued: Throughout her detention, and despite legal attempts to push the prison administration to provide them with the necessary treatment, the prison administration claims that there are no longer any problems with her feet. As for the stomach problem, despite the recommendation that she be referred to a nutritionist, the prison administration was content to allow her to contact a nutritionist who speaks Hebrew and what the detainee Shaima said was translated into Arabic, without conducting medical examinations.

It is noteworthy that the detainee, Shaimaa, is one of (94) female detainees in Al-Damon prison, who face harsh and tragic conditions in light of the systematic procedures and crimes, most notably the crime of starvation, medical crimes, and systematic torture crimes. She is one of (28) female administrative detainees.

The Prisoners’ Authority and the Prisoners’ Club confirmed that the conditions of the female detainees have deteriorated significantly, compared to the past months, as a result of the retaliatory measures imposed by the occupation prison administration, in addition to the repressive and repeated searches they have been subjected to in the recent period, and the practice of systematic humiliation and abuse. The most prominent repressive operations were in late September and on October 7, according to the testimonies of female detainees who were visited.

The Prisoners' Authority and the Prisoners' Club called on the international human rights system to restore its necessary role and end the state of exception enjoyed by the occupying state in the face of the war crimes of genocide it is carrying out, one of the aspects of which is the crimes of torture in prisons and camps.
