NABLUS,(PIC)– An Israeli female prisoner held on criminal charges at Hasharon prison assaulted an 18-year-old Palestinian girl detained at the prison, beating her up and trying to strangle her.
Ahmed Betawi, a researcher at Tadamun Foundation for Human Rights, confirmed that an Israeli female criminal attacked the prisoner Alaa Issa Joba from Al-Khalil city, and tried to strangle her, but Israeli soldiers intervened after she shouted loudly and took control of the Israeli criminal.
He pointed out that the Hasharon prison administration claimed that the detained criminal is mentally ill, and will be moved during the next few days to a private hospital for mental illness.
Betawi stated, in a press release issued by Tadamun foundation, that the purpose of putting this “mentally ill” criminal in the same ward with the Palestinian female prisoners is to humiliate and intimidate them, however the statement did not mention the time of the incident.
The occupation forces arrested the Joba late in 2011 and claimed at that time that she had tried to stab a soldier at a checkpoint near the city of Al-Khalil, where she is supposed to appear before court next month.
