Palestinian female prisoners’ story about the Zionist regime’s “cemetery”
According to the Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed news website, “Abla Saadat” and “Khalida Jarrar” are two Palestinian female prisoners who were released from Israeli prisons in the first phase of the prisoner exchange with the Israeli regime.
They describe the prison conditions and the torture of prisoners in solitary and general cells as very difficult and liken the Israeli prisons to a grave where only the power to breathe exists. This is the description that Abla Saadat, the wife of Ahmed Saadat, the Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, gives about the solitary cells in the Israeli Damon prison.
Khalida Jarrar is one of the most prominent Palestinian female prisoners. Between 1994 and 2006, she was the director of the Zamir Institute, a specialist in human rights and Palestinian prisoners, and then she was appointed as a member of the Palestinian Parliament. She was then responsible for the prisoners’ file in the Palestinian Legislative Council and a member of the High Committee for Following up on the case of Palestine’s accession to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He was arrested in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2023, and while in Israeli prisons, he lost his daughter, Sahi, and was not even able to attend her funeral.
