The Prisoners' Club: Unprecedented Rise in Targeting Women in the West Bank through Arrest Campaigns

SadaNews - The Prisoners' Club stated that the scale of arrests and the targeting of women in the West Bank is witnessing a continuous and unprecedented rise, noting that the number of female prisoners in the occupation's prisons and detention camps has risen to about (95), a figure previously recorded during the height of the genocide crime.

The club explained in a statement that this rise followed the arrest of three women by the occupation forces at dawn today from the town of Kober northwest of Ramallah, and from Jenin city and the Ain camp in Nablus, among them the wife of a prisoner. Additionally, the occupation forces had arrested four female students from Birzeit University last week, including a graduate, all of whom were transferred to the "Moscovia" detention center, along with the arrest of a girl from Ramallah who suffers from a mobility disability.

The Prisoners' Club added that the data and testimonies coming in regarding the violations against female prisoners have exceeded, in terms of scale and level, what was recorded at any previous stage, as a result of the escalation of systematic repression accompanied by brutal physical assaults, in addition to continuous practices of humiliation and torment.
