Testimonies detail torture of female prisoners
Palestinian human rights sources have revealed an escalation in the detention authorities' practices against Palestinian female prisoners, including brutal assaults such as forced removal of hijabs, physical and psychological abuse, and the use of pepper spray and tear gas in overcrowded cells. They explained that 87 female prisoners, including 21 administrative detainees, are suffering from harsh humanitarian conditions, with their health deteriorating and diseases like scabies spreading due to the denial of hygiene supplies and healthcare. Many have also been isolated and forced to remove their braids. Meanwhile, the female prisoners are facing severe conditions that include bans on visits and communication with their families, along with a significant decline in medical services and increasing risks to their lives.
