BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli authorities tortured a 42-year-old Palestinian woman after she was detained at a checkpoint in October 2010, a prisoners’ center said Monday.
Hanan Hamouz was detained in Beit Jala, near her home in Bethlehem’s Al-Azza refugee camp in the southern West Bank.
On Monday March 28 - 2011, an Israeli court sentenced Hamouz to two years and a half years in prison and ordered her to pay a 3,000 shekel ($850) fine. The Prisoners Society in Bethlehem said in a statement that she was charged with trying to stab an Israeli soldier, and had been tortured in detention.
