15 Palestinian female prisoners are being imprisoned by Israel “under dire conditions” in Damon prison according to a statement released by the PA committee for prisoners and ex-prisoners on Tuesday.

The 15 female prisoners are held in two cells in section 6 of the prison the statement pointed out.

The prisoners complained of their transport in the “Bosta” to courts and back which takes three days each time.
