AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– A human rights organization warned of the “catastrophic and unbearable” situation of Palestinian female prisoners in the Israeli Hasharon detention center.
The Prisoners’ Center for Studies said in a statement on Saturday that the Israeli prison administration has been abusing the Palestinian female captives held in Hasharon.
The 16 Palestinian prisoners are exposed to surprise raids and night searches. They are subjected to harsh forms of punishment; including the payment of fines, the solitary confinement and the deprivation of visits, in addition to the brutal interrogation circumstances, the center added.
It also pointed to the deliberate policy of medical neglect in Hasharon jail, and said some patient captives need urgent surgeries but the Israeli authorities have been postponing them.
The center appealed to the international institutions, especially the Red Cross and the United Nations to exert pressure on the occupation authorities to stop the ongoing violations against the female detainees.
