The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) has denounced the conditions under which female Palestinian prisoners are held inside northern Israel’s Damon prison, Al Jazeera reports.
Five female prisoners, including minors, were subjected to severe assaults, including solitary confinement, threats, verbal insults and spitting, the monitor said.
It also reported cases where the administration used tear gas and police dogs against prisoners or imposed humiliating measures during transfers between cells.
Pregnant prisoners and those suffering from cancer are being detained in rooms lacking most basic sanitary conditions, it added.
