❀ There are currently approximately 35 Palestinian women in Israeli jails, representing all facets of Palestinian society: students, activists, organizers, parliamentarians, journalists, health workers, mothers, sisters, daughters.

#StopAdministrativeDetention
#IsraeliCrimes Image
Palestinian women have always been at the center of the liberation movement through all aspects of struggle and have led within the prisoners’ movement, organizing hunger strikes and standing on the front lines of struggle even behind bars. Image
Palestinian women prisoners include 11 mothers, six injured women and three jailed without charge or trial under administrative detention.
Palestinian women prisoners are routinely subjected to torture and ill-treatment by Israeli occupation forces, Image
from the moment they are detained — often in violent night raids — and throughout the interrogation process, including beatings, insults, threats, aggressive body searches and sexually explicit harassment. Image
Within Israeli prisons, the official state policy of “worsening the conditions” of Palestinian prisoners has particularly targeted Palestinian women, denied family visits or even phone calls, subjected to intense surveillance that violates their privacy, denied education Image
and held in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. They are transported in the “bosta,” a metal vehicle where women are shackled on a long, circituous trip that takes hours longer than a direct route and often denied access to sanitary facilities. Image
Damon prison, itself formerly a stable for animals, is located in occupied Palestine ’48 — in violation of the 4th Geneva Convention, & making it even more difficult for Palestinian women’s family members to visit them.
All visits are subjected to an arbitrary permit regime which is often obstructed by the Israeli occupation regime. ❀
