A van leaves the Israeli Damon Prison, located in the town of Daliyat al-Karmel, northern occupied Palestine

Ramallah, July 5 (RHC)-- At least five female Palestinians have been subjected to severe assaults in an Israeli prison, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) that records the crimes inside Israeli prisons.

ASRA denounced the Israeli regime on Friday for the inhumane conditions under which female Palestinian prisoners are held inside its prisons, particularly the notorious Damon prison.  ASRA said five female prisoners, including minors, were subjected to severe assaults, including solitary confinement, threats, verbal insults and spitting by those running the Israeli facility.

The office also reported cases in which the Israeli prison administrators used tear gas and police dogs against prisoners.  The defender of Palestinian prisoners' rights also said that the prison administrators had imposed humiliating measures on female Palestinian inmates during transfers between cells.

Inmates who are pregnant and those suffering from cancer are being detained in prison rooms lacking most basic sanitary conditions, it added.
