Free
Manal!!!
Manal
Naji Mahmoud Ghanim, 29 years old, mother of four, from Tulkarem Refugee
Camp, was arrested in April 2003 by the Israeli army and sentenced in a
military court in the occupied West Bank to 50 months in prison. Manal,
who
suffers from Thalasemia, was arrested when pregnant and shortly after
that gave
birth to her son Nour. Nour is now a year and half old. Both are held
in
Hasharon Prison (Telmond).
The prison authorities do not
provide Manal and her son with the necessary medical care, nor do they
provide
Nour with adequate food or toys. The prison authorities even refuse to
let the
family bring any toys for Nour. In addition to the daily suffering in
prison,
it happens, as on November 28, 2004, that the wardens attack the women
prisoners with tear gas and water hoses. While such a violent act
represents
severe harassment for all the prisoners, for a baby it actually is a
real
danger. In fact, Nour was ill for at least six weeks following this
attack.
Manal has another two sons and
a
daughter. The younger boy, 7-years old Maged, suffers from sickle cell
anemia.
Due to his health condition, he needs hospitalization every ten days.
At these
times, Maged desperately needs his mother’s support.
We, the undersigned, are
seriously concerned about the deterioration of
Manal's, Nour's and their family’s health, caused by Manal's
continuous
imprisonment. We demand to immediately free Manal Naji Mahmoud Ghanim.
