3 The Palestinian institutions concerned about prisoners said Thursday that 14 Palestinians passing the “Mother’s Day” inside Israeli prisons between a total of 25 detainees in Israel suffering from extremely bad conditions.
“The day of Mother’s Day, the occupation authorities continue to deprive 14 as a Palestinian of freedom and the embrace of their children … They suffer from very difficult and bad conditions, and by stopping these mothers, dozens of children are deprived of their mothers.”
“The tragedy of the Palestinian mother begins from the moment when the occupation forces stormed her house violently, often in the night hours, while she is extracted from her children under the threat of arms, in the midst of her young cries and the scene of deliberate mistreatment before their eyes.”
The press release added that since October 7, 2023, Israel has arrested 500 Palestinian women, the highest arrest rate for women.
According to the press release, “prisoners are prevented from visiting the people since the start of the Gaza Genocide War”.
The press release added: “The occupation authorities prevented visits and prisoners and prisoners have been completely withdrawn from the outside world, and the Red Cross prevented the implementation of visits, in addition to putting obstacles to lawyers’ visits to detainees and women detained in the prisons of the occupation.”
Damon prison
Israel holds the vast majority of prisoners in the “Damon” prison, which is considered one of the most important centers to arrest the Palestinians, according to the press release.
In this prison, prisoners faced severe conditions, which became more difficult after October 7, 2023, because prisoners were subjected to continuous attacks, which included lonely isolation and abuse of repression units, according to the press release.
According to the institutions of prisoners, “many prisoners were forced to sleep on the ground in the light of a serious shortage of clothing and covers, which were exacerbated by the cold, because some prisoners were forced to wear the same clothes as they were arrested for long periods without change.”
Prisoners are deprived of the drugs necessary for their treatment and some suffer from a serious delay in the provision of treatment, which aggravates their health, according to the institutions of the prisoners.
In recent months, a certain number of Palestinian prisoners have been released in Israeli prisons as part of the prisoner exchange agreement that took place between the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement (Hamas) and Israel.
The number of arrests between the Palestinians in the West Bank since the war of annihilation against Gaza was 15,640 cases, including those who kept Israel to arrest them, and those who were released later, when there is no data on the arrests in Gaza, according to the club.
