The Prisoner Society based in Palestine presented an official request to Israeli legal advisors to provide humanitarian conditions for the prisoner Al Zuq who is due to give birth this month. The Israelis accepted the request of the Society and have said the prisoner will not be blindfolded or handcuffed during her transfer to the hospital for giving birth. They also said she will not be handcuffed to the bed during the birth as has happened in previous cases. Lawyer Fatima Al Natsha, Director of the legal unit in the Prisoner Society reported that this decision will make the birth less painful for the prisoner and hopes that the Israeli side will be committed to the taking decision.
