NABLUS, (PIC)-- Palestinian female captive, Qaherah al-Sa'di from the northern West Bank city of Jenin, who is serving a sentence of 3 life-terms plus 30 years in an Israeli occupation jail, has completed nine years in captivity.
Sa'di, who was arrested on 1 May 2001, told the lawyer of Tadamon for human rights that despite nine years in jail and her heavy sentence she still enjoys very high spirits and that she is certain of her liberation along with other fellow captives.
Sa'di has four children, Muhammad and Sandi are not allowed to visit her under security pretexts and Ra'fat and Dunia are allowed to visit. Her three brothers also are barred from visiting her because of security pretexts too.
She also told the lawyer about the conditions of 37 other female captives at the Damoun and Hasharon prisons who are not allowed to receive books, not allowed to get their hand work (such as embroidery) out of prison. The captives are denied meeting their captive husbands and are not accorded proper medical treatment.
Sa'di is one of five female captives serving life in Israeli occupation jails, the other four are: Ahlam al-Tamimi, serving 16 life terms, Amena Mona, Sana' Shehada and Dua'a al-Jahhousi.
Israeli occupation bar 13 captives from completing their university education

GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hadarim prison administration barred 13 Palestinian captives from completing their university education as a punishment for protesting occupation authority's measures against prisoners and their families.
The Prisoners' Studies Center quoted Tawfiq Abu Naim, one of prisoner leaders, as saying that the Hadarim prison administration was not satisfied with barring prisoners from taking secondary education exams, barring them from enrolling at Palestinian and Arab universities, limiting the numbers allowed to enrol at the [Israeli] Open University, barring entry of books and other hurdles in the way of the prisoners' education, but it took the step of barring those already studying at universities from completing their education.
Abu Naim added that the Hadarim prison administration allowed only 25 prisoners to study at the [Israeli] Open University, but it has lately punished thirteen of them by denying them completion of their education including some prisoners who were only one term away from graduation.
