The Israeli prison service (IPS) has persisted in pressuring the Palestinian female detainees in Hasharon jail to dissuade them from their protest against the use of security cameras inside the prison.
According to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs the detained women in Hasharon received threats to isolate them transfer them to other jails and deprive them of visits to punish them for their refusal to go out to the prison yard in protest at operating security cameras that violate their privacy.
Several female detainees also suffer from worsening health problems resulting from the harsh incarceration conditions they are exposed to because of their protest step.
The Commission called for organizing popular rallies in support of the female detainees in Hasharon in all Palestinian areas and urged international legal and human rights organizations to pressure the Israeli occupation authority to end its measures against them.
The administration of Hasharon prison has recently took punitive measures against female detainees to make their lives more complicated.
The measures included cutting power to their cells for four hours depriving them of hot water and preventing their families from giving them financial support.
