Prisoners' Authority: 500 female prisoners have been denied lawyer visits, and we hold the occupation responsible.

The Prisoners' Affairs Commission warned of the continued ban on lawyers visiting prisoners.

In a statement issued Monday, the Commission held the occupation fully responsible for covering up violations inside prisons and called on the international community to take urgent action.

She noted that over the past ten days, nearly 500 prisoners, both male and female, have been denied legal visits from the Commission's staff, a dangerous escalation in the policy of isolation and repression.
