 Lawyers for the Palestinian Political Detainees' Society reported on Monday that on a recent visit to the Israeli detention camp of Hasharon, they were made aware of a skin infection which is affecting women there. Hasharon holds thousands of Palestinian political detainees. According to the lawyers, four female prisoners have the infection, but there is a fear that it may spread. Detainees reported that those infected have been refused medical attention and access to medicines. It is thought the infection could be the result of the squalid conditions in solitary confinement cells.Then, when detainees are moved from solitary, the infection is spread to other inmates.
Israeli and Palestinian human right groups report that there are around 12,000 Palestinian political detainees in Israeli detention camps, including women and children. The majority of these people have not been brought to trial. Translated by Ghassan Bannoura – IMEMC News Room |
