The Palestinian Center for Prisoner Studies said female Palestinian detainees at Damoon prison face an unprecedented campaign of repression and assault, characterizing the violations as organized terrorism backed by extremist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Shehab Wire reported. The centre rejected the notion that abuses stem from individual misconduct by prison officers, instead describing them as systematic escalation rooted in policy.
Ben-Gvir has wielded significant influence over Israeli prison administration since taking office, expanding his authority over detention facilities holding Palestinian prisoners. The accusations underscore mounting concerns over conditions and treatment within the facility housing female Palestinian detainees.
