Israeli police officers prevented a detained Palestinian woman from breastfeeding her three-month-old daughter for approximately four hours on Monday. The woman, Najia Bisharat, was suspected of throwing rocks at an Israeli vehicle but was released without restrictive conditions at the end of her questioning. The police did not explain why Bisharat was denied permission to breastfeed her daughter for hours.
