Imprisoned women film their jail ordeal
A HIDDEN video camera recorded the daily life of two Swansea women behind bars in an Israeli prison.
Council worker Fiona Williams, of Mumbles, who returned to the city on Thursday was one of a group of a dozen UK activists to travel to the country in protest against the blockade of Palestine.
Book-keeper D Murphy, of Mount Pleasant, was also detained on her arrival at Ben Guirion airport in Tel Aviv despite breaking no laws.
The women managed to smuggle out the recorded video moments of their six nights locked up in the high security prison in Israel.
The video clips shows how Miss Williams was forced to scrub the prison floors in exchange for food.
Life inside the hot cells and tense interactions with the Israeli guards were all captured.
The images will form part of a documentary being produced about the attempt by the Swansea women to challenge the Israeli blockade of the West Bank.

“wowwwww very "interesting".. or maybe NOT?
why don't you go and film in Yemen or Iran?? or maybe Suria? I'm sure you find more violent army and government there!
I mean, seriously, you won't get out ALIVE from theire prison!!!
if youn wanted to go to Beit Lahem you could have just used the plain, like normal people do!
I think it is safer in Israel than in UK. at least the Israelis don't set up on fire local businesses and houses.. who do those English people think they are, Arab?!?!
oh right, most of them are..”
