Hassan Abdel Rab, a specialist in prisoner affairs, told Shehab Wire that a Palestinian detainee's delivery inside Damoon prison constitutes a "compound crime" reflecting what he characterized as the occupation's cruelty and criminality. He said Israeli forces continue committing violations against female detainees, numbering over 90 women held in Damoon, in addition to prisoner Bishra al-Taweel held in isolation in Ramla.
Abdel Rab did not specify the detainee's identity or the date of the birth in his statement to the news agency.
