Palestinian girl released after 39 months in Israeli jail

Tuesday 15-January-2019

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) released on Tuesday evening 18-year-old Lama al-Bakri after serving 39 months in administrative detention in Damon prison.

Shortly after her release at Jalama checkpoint al-Bakri told reporters that Palestinian female detainees are held amid very difficult detention conditions and denied from their basic human rights.

Lama al-Bakri was initially detained in December 2015 after allegedly attempting to carry out a stabbing attack near the illegal Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba in al-Khalil in southern occupied West Bank.

Al-Bakri was shot and seriously injured by Israeli soldiers at the time of the stabbing attempt.
