RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli prison guards humiliated a female detainee from the Gaza Strip who underwent hand surgery, the PA Ministry of Detainees' Affairs reported Saturday.
Prison guards tried to cuff Wafa Samir Al-Lubs, 26, to her hospital bed by her hands and legs, the ministry said in a statement.
Al-Lubs' lawyer protested, and the guards eventually agreed only to cuff her right hand and leg after the surgery.
Her lawyer said the guards verbally insulted her during a three-day stay in hospital and repeatedly refused to allow her to see a doctor post-operation.
The lawyer warned that Al-Luba was at risk of infection if the bandage wasn't changed.
Al-Luba is serving a 12-year sentence in Hasharon prison.
Israel has banned all detainees from the Gaza Strip from receiving visitors since 2007 when militants in Gaza kidnapped an Israeli soldier.
