Prisoners' Authority: Prisoner Sireen Saidi is being held in difficult detention conditions.

The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners said that prisoner Sireen Muhammad Asaad Saidi (56 years old) from the village of Beit Lid in Tulkarm is still detained in Al-Damon prison. She suffers from a pituitary gland disorder and allergies, and is taking medication.

According to the Commission's lawyer, the prisoner was subjected to multiple strip searches during her detention. She is also being held in harsh and difficult detention conditions, having been arrested during the winter, when the cold was intense. She was also subjected to constant insults and verbal abuse, and complained of the prison guards' sudden nighttime raids on her room at Al-Damon.

Sa'idi, a prisoner, lacks the most basic necessities of life. Her prison guards confiscated her clothes and shoes. During a visit to the Commission a few days ago, she told the Commission's lawyer that she is in dire need of clothing, personal care items, and hygiene products. Female prisoners are forced to remain in their prayer clothes at all times due to the prison guards' sudden incursions into their rooms.

It is noteworthy that the number of female prisoners in Damon Prison is 35, all of whom suffer from poor detention conditions, as the food is scarce and of poor quality, and they are not allowed to shower except during the break at 7:00 a.m.
