Hasharon female detainees continue to protest security cameras

Tuesday 9-October-2018

The Palestinian women detained in Hasharon jail insist for the 34th consecutive day on not taking their daily walk in the main prison courtyard in protest at the reactivation of internal security cameras.

According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) the detainees in Hasharon rejected all suggestions made by the prison administration such as giving them pledges to watch security camera recordings only in case of incidents and to shut them down for two hours a day.

According to the PPS the security cameras in Hasharon jail were covered several years ago after female prisoners protested their presence inside their sections.

However recently the administration operated them again in early September at the behest of a committee appointed by Israeli security minister Gilad Erdan which visited the prison.

There are still 34 Palestinian women in Hasharon jail and 20 others in Damon.
