Baraa Odeh has told her lawyer from prison that she has been repeatedly strip-searched and physically assaulted.
Berlin, Germany – A Palestinian employee of Germany’s state-funded development agency has been imprisoned in Israel for more than a month, where she has been beaten and subject to abusive and humiliating treatment, her family members and lawyer say.
Baraa Odeh, 34, works for the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), and was detained by Israeli border guards on March 5 while returning to her home in Ramallah from a work trip to Germany.
She has since been sentenced to three months of administrative detention without charge.
Neither her husband, who is a German national, nor her family have had direct contact with Odeh since her arrest.
“Our life is upside down,” her sister Shireen Odeh told Al Jazeera, adding that her family is extremely concerned for her wellbeing.
