<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Palestinian female  detainee Sumoud Karrajeh, 22, said She was violently attacked and  seriously wounded by Israeli troops from Nahshon prison unit during her  transfer from jail to a military court earlier this month.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Karrajeh told a human rights organization  that she was transferred by Nahshon soldiers on the eighth of November  from Damon prison to Ramle prison in order to take her the second day to  Ofer military court for trial, but during this transfer the soldiers,  composed of men and women, confiscated her belongings and wanted to  strip search her.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">She added that when she strongly rejected  the strip search, the soldiers and female jailers started to violently  beat her all over her body and pulled her up using handcuffs many times  which caused her terrible pains and bruises in different parts of her  body, adding they kept doing that until she almost fainted.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The young women noted that one of the  soldiers, whose name was &#8220;Sahar&#8221;, pulled the head cover from her head,  tightened his hold on her neck, severely beat and pushed her to the  floor, spat on her and dragged her with his handcuffs.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The detainee added that after this  physical assault, she was locked up in a small dirty cell infested with  cockroaches and stayed up all night scared and in pain lying on the  floor without any blanket, sheet or mattress.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In this context, the higher national  committee for the support of prisoners strongly denounced the physical  assault on Karrajeh, saying this act proved the extent of violence and  cruelty used by Israeli soldiers against Palestinian prisoners.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The committee emphasized that the Israeli  occupation authority deals violently with female detainees and does not  respect their privacy, adding that this incident was not the first of  its kind, where many Palestinian women in Israeli jails were beaten and  tortured as happened before with prisoner Abeer Odeh in Ramle jail.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">It noted that the Israeli prison units and  jailers committed frequents assaults on female prisoners, but a few of  these incidents were reported by the media.</p>
