Prisoners Authority: 95 Palestinian female prisoners face harsh detention conditions
The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Freed Prisoners reported that the total number of female detainees to date has reached 95, who are suffering from the harshest and worst detention conditions in the occupation's prisons, and their severity has increased since the beginning of the aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
The Commission explained, in a statement issued today, Sunday, that the occupation prison administration deliberately imposed additional retaliatory punishments on the female detainees, by depriving them of the most basic human requirements of clothing, food, and treatment, and completely isolating them from the world, in addition to what they are exposed to in terms of strip searches, beatings, and repression, the latest of which was the storming of several sections in the "Damon" prison, and the abuse of the female detainees on 10/27/2024.
She pointed out that the Commission’s lawyer visited the following detainees and checked on them: Fawzan Awida (20 years old) from the city of Nablus, who was arrested on 03/27/2024, Diala Aida from the city of Ramallah, whose administrative detention was extended for the third time, and she is expected to be released on 01/14/2025, and Shaima Ramadan, who was arrested in July 2024.
She added that there are 3 female detainees held in solitary confinement: (Khalida Jarrar, Saja Daraghmeh, and Nawal Abu Fatiha).
