Ramallah \u2013 Media Office:<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Palestinian Prisoners\u2019 Club confirmed that the number of Palestinian female prisoners in the occupation prisons has risen to 47, amid a serious escalation in the pace of systematic violations and crimes carried out by the prison administration against them since the beginning of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement, the Prisoners\u2019 Club clarified that the female detainees are facing harsh detention conditions that involve grave violations, including torture, starvation, medical neglect, strip searches, and confinement in cells lacking basic sanitary conditions. The statement emphasized that repression, abuse, and humiliation have become systematic policies, through which the occupation seeks to break the will of the prisoners and undermine their dignity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Club pointed out that the field visit results conducted in the second half of May to a number of female prisoners confirmed the continuation of violations in all forms, with no noticeable improvement in detention conditions \u2014 especially concerning the deterioration of the health of some detainees, including those suffering from chronic illnesses and in urgent need of medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement highlighted the case of the prisoner Fidaa Assaf, from Qalqilya, detained since February 2015, who suffers from leukemia. Her health condition continues to worsen due to the harsh conditions of detention and the lack of appropriate medical care. Recent tests conducted for her at Rambam Hospital in the occupied territories revealed that her health has reached a critical stage, requiring intensive treatment. Nevertheless, the occupation continues to detain her under the pretext of \u201cincitement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Club also addressed the case of the prisoner Haneen Jaber, from Tulkarm, the mother of two martyrs, detained since December 2024, and it was discovered after her arrest that she has a tumor in her breast, and is in urgent need of medical care outside the prison, which the occupation refuses to provide.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the context of continuous assaults, the Club noted that the prisoner Carmel Khawaja was physically assaulted by a female prison guard during a collective repression operation carried out in the women\u2019s section in May. She was placed in isolation, and collective punishments were imposed, including banning all female prisoners from going out for recreation, as part of a systematic policy of psychological and physical pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Club documented horrifying testimonies from detainees about the conditions of their arrest and detention. One of the prisoners, identified by the initials S.W., stated that she was subjected to insults, swearing, being denied access to the bathroom, starvation, shackling, and physical assault during her arrest and during transfers between Hasharon and Damon prisons. She confirmed that repression and deprivation of the most basic rights have become a daily reality for the female prisoners.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Club emphasized that the majority of female detainees suffer from a policy of systematic starvation, where small quantities of poor-quality food are provided, resulting in health issues, particularly digestive problems and significant weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n
