Farah Mohammed Hanaysheh, 22, has spent roughly 50 days in solitary confinement at HaSharon Prison. Israeli authorities have filed no charges. Prison officials deny her daily medication, refuse to clarify her legal status, and keep a surveillance camera running inside her isolation cell around the clock. She has been beaten, handcuffed for most of each day, and denied any time outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lawyer who visited Hanaysheh relayed what he found to her family in Qabatiya, near Jenin. The Prisoners\u2019 Media Office spoke with the family to document his account. Israeli authorities have blocked her counsel from seeing her case file or learning the conditions of her detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three Arrests<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hanaysheh has been arrested three times. Israeli forces first detained her on September 23, 2025, holding her for four days at al-Moskobiyeh interrogation center in Jerusalem before releasing her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Less than a month later, on October 17, 2025, they arrested her again. She spent two weeks in HaSharon. On release, the occupation banned her from university for two years and imposed a fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her health broke down during that second detention. Her family drove her straight from prison to Ibn Sina Hospital. Doctors found severe dehydration, a blood level that had dropped to 4, and a bacterial infection contracted in custody. She has been on daily medication since to prevent dizziness and fainting. Israeli authorities now deny her that medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Third Arrest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Days before her third arrest, on February 8, 2026, Israeli forces confiscated Hanaysheh\u2019s identity card at a military checkpoint. They told her intelligence officers would contact her to return it. When she went to collect it, they detained her. No reason was given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was transferred first to al-Moskobiyeh, then to HaSharon, where she has been held in isolation since arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her lawyer told the family that prison authorities withhold her medication and would not discuss her medical needs or her legal status with him. They permitted the visit itself, nothing more. Their justification: the \u201cstate of emergency\u201d declared across Israeli prisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farah\u2019s Testimony<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Hanaysheh arrived at HaSharon, three soldiers, one female and two male, recognized her from her previous detention. They singled her out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She told her family through the lawyer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was beaten on the bosta so badly that when I reached HaSharon I couldn\u2019t stand on my feet, especially from the beating on my feet. Since I arrived I\u2019ve been in isolation. I feel like I\u2019m in a grave. My breathing gets very tight. Night here is like day; the room is dark most of the time, and outdoor time is forbidden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe camera watches the room 24 hours a day. A female soldier and two soldiers knew me from the previous arrest, and they haven\u2019t left me alone. Food is almost nonexistent. The water, when there is any, is not clean. During Ramadan I lost consciousness more than once. They would wake me by screaming and pouring cold water on me in the freezing cold. Life here doesn\u2019t exist. I can\u2019t describe it. They take out their anger on us with every rocket fired during the war. Not a day passes without a search. In the last two raids, after the search was over, they sprayed gas inside the room and locked the door on me with the gas still inside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Family<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hanaysheh told her family the handcuffs never leave her wrists. She misses them. She asked them to pray for her and said God is with her. Do not worry, she told them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family says her condition is dire. She could barely speak during the lawyer\u2019s visit. Prison authorities withhold all treatment. Even basic painkillers. No one has told her family why she was taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her parents describe a young woman devoted to her country\u2019s cause and to the women prisoners whose suffering she had lived through. She dreamed of praying at Al-Aqsa Mosque. Just one prostration, she used to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr came and went without her. Her family\u2019s life has stopped. Her parents live in constant fear. Waiting has become all they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
