Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

Fax No. 00972 2 6546717




      28 December 2007



Sir,



Nura Jaber el Hashlamon of Hebron, mother of six, was arrested on 17
September 2006 by the Israeli occupation forces.



She has been detained without charges or trial at the Detention
Centres of Etzion and Ashkelon.  After having submitted to three tough
and difficult interrogations, she was transferred to Hasharon Prison
(Tel Mond) and placed in administrative detention for six months.



Since the moment of her arrest the Israeli authorities have constantly
prolonged her administrative detention.



On 12 December 2007, Nur Jaber el Hashlamon began a hunger strike,
demanding to be freed immediately and placing her life in danger.



The husband of Nura, Muhamed Sami el Hashlamon is also in
administrative detention.  He has been imprisoned since 2005 in the
Negev Prison (Ketziot) and, as in the administrative detention of
Nura, his has constantly been prolonged by the Israeli authorities.



Mr. Prime Minister, Nura's administrative detention and that of her
husband represent an attack on the human rights of an entire family.



The image which is thus given by the State of Israel is not that of a
democracy but that of an occupying State which does not respect
international law.  In this crucial period where the world is looking
in the direction of Palestine, Women in Black (Vienna), together with
other Women in Black groups and others opposing the Israeli
occupation, are sending your Government their request to free Nura
Jaber el Hashlamon immediately in order to permit her to take care of
her six children who have not seen her since more than one year.



Yours faithfully,
