NGO: Female prisoners at HaSharon jailed in worrisome condition

Ramallah (QNN)- Female prisoners at HaSharon jail are detained in very bad and inhumane conditions, where they are detained for 14 days before being transferred to the Damon jail, said the Committee of Detainees and Former Detainees’ Affairs.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the committee stated that female prisoners live in very complicated and harsh conditions, as they are held close to Israeli criminals, who use verbal and sexual abuses against them.

It added that the administration of the jail allows Israeli jailers to raid into prisoners’ cells, violating their privacy.

It also stressed that the committee repeatedly requested that the administration of the jail allocates a section for newly arrested female prisoners to protect them but the Israelis continue to ignore such demands.

According to Addameer, Israeli authorities have arrested 43 women until March 2020, including 8 wounded women, 12 patients, 16 mothers, and 4 women under administrative detention without charges or trials.
