Israeli court defers trial of female prisoner for 10th time

Tuesday 10-December-2013

JENIN (PIC)– The family of Palestinian prisoner Mona Ka’adan a 42-year-old woman from Jenin city said that the Salem military court on Monday postponed her trail to December 19 without giving reasons.

Ex-detainee Tareq Ka’adan the brother of Mona told Ahrar center for human rights that it was the tenth time the Israeli military courts rescheduled the trial of his sister noting that his sister suffers from unbearable psychological pressure as a result of that in addition to acute abdominal pains.

For his part director of Ahrar center Fouad Al-Khafsh said that prisoner Mona has been banned since her detention from family visits adding that the Israeli Hasharon jailers refused three months ago to let her brothers see her in prison although they had visit permits.

Khafsh affirmed that the Israeli military courts tend to postpone the trial of female detainees in order to torture them psychologically and exhaust them physically because of the tiring process of their transfer back and forth.

Mona was kidnapped from her home on November 13 2012 and she already spent three and a half years in Israeli jails.
