Detention includes hijab removal and violence
According to the Prisoners’ Media Office, Palestinian female prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons on October 7 and 8 were subjected to assaults that included removing their hijabs, isolating 17 detainees, forcing them to untie their braids, as well as using tear gas and pepper spray inside detention cells. Some of the female prisoners were physically assaulted, and the gas was sprayed heavily, leading to cases of suffocation and deteriorating health conditions among pregnant women and elderly detainees. Additionally, some prisoners were taken out of their cells, while others were detained on the ground. The Office called for urgent intervention by the international community to ensure the protection of the prisoners’ rights and to put an end to these practices, which constitute violations of their dignity and health.
