Hasharon Prison (Tel Mond)
Health care
Lina Jarbuni,
from Arabeh Bathouf, in the Galilee, was arrested on 15 April 2002: On 5 June 2013, she had an operation at the hospital. In the hospital she was tied to the bed and after the operation the guards tied her to the bed in such a way that she could not move: they tied one hand and one foot from the opposite side. 24 hours a day there were two women guards and one man guard in her room. These conditions bothered her very much and she left the hospital two days before the end of the treatment.
WOFPP plans to act to improve the conditions of women political prisoners in hospital: stopping tying of women prisoners that are hospitalized and stopping the presence of male guards in the hospital room where a woman prisoner is hospitalized.
All the women political prisoners suffer from medical neglect and inadequate treatment of their problems.
