Minister of prisoners in Gaza Attalla Abul Sabah said that the 15 Palestinian female prisoners in the Israeli Hasharon jails are held in cruel detention conditions.
He said in a statement on Saturday that their health condition was worsening due to the prison administration’s deliberate medical neglect coupled with the harsh winter conditions.
The minister charged that the administration was treating the prisoners in a way that contradicted all international laws that stipulate special protection for women, adding that the prison is not fit for human life.
Abul Sabah urged free people of the world and all those defending the rights of women to shed light on those detainees’ suffering and to demand their immediate release.
