The Commission of Detainees' Affairs stated, quoting advocate Hanan Khatib, in a visit to Damoun prison, "that female detainees are subjected to continuous violations by the administration of prison".
The advocate said, quoting the minor detainee Nufouth Hammad, 15, from Jerusalem, "that the situation in prison is very difficult, where the administration of prison imposed punishments against us, deprived us from doing handicrafts, prevented phone calls and violations, prevented us from using the canteen and closed the section for 13 days".
Detainee Hammad said " I am deprived of having the high school exams, and I missed my school, especially that people started to get prepared to opening the academic year, I wished to be with my classmates, and I'll get back to school someday".
The Commission pointed out that the Israeli authorities pursued violating the rights of female detainees in investigation centers, without taking into account their needs and privacy.
It is worthy to mention that (31) female detainees are currently held in Israeli prisons.

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs called upon the international human rights organisations and feminist organisations to intervene immediately and stop the violations implemented against women detainees in Damoun prison.
The Commission stated, according to a visit by the lawyer Hanan Khatib, that the life condition of women detainees is getting worse, especially the psychological condition.
There is no intervention by the administration of prisons to deal privately with sick detainees or providing them with the appropriate medical care.
The Commission confirmed that the administration of prisons tended to procrastinate in providing the basic needs.
There are currently 28 women in Damoun prison, in addition to 2 detainees at the clinic of Al-ramla prison and 2 detainees in a civil prison.
