The Jordanian authorities banned a pregnant Palestinian woman from entering the occupied West Bank on account that her husband had served a prison term in Israeli jails and got deported to the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Arab Federation for Human Rights said the family of the Palestinian woman Yakeen Fathi al-Hayek updated the organization about the travel ban issued by the Jordanian authorities and her two kids aged four and two.
Yakeen and her two children have been denied access to the occupied West Bank via Jordan under the security guise and for reasons related to her husband’s earlier prison sentence.
The Arab Federation said Yakeen who is in the seventh month of pregnancy was transferred to al-Bashir Hospital after her health condition deteriorated owing to the Jordanian measures.
The Jordanian intelligence has also threatened to forcibly deport Yakeen.
The Arab Federation urged the Jordanian authorities to backtrack on such arbitrary measures allow Yakeen to enter the West Bank and take into account her critical health condition.
