Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are smuggling out sperm in order to impregnate their wives, a fertility doctor has said, claiming that the wife of a prisoner serving 32 life sentences gave birth to a boy last August and four other prisoners’ wives are pregnant after insemination.
Salem Abu Khaizaran, who works at a fertility clinic in Nablus, said 22 women had undergone insemination using smuggled sperm, but the success rate was low because of the difficulties of keeping sperm fresh during transportation from prisons in Israel to the West Bank.
Forty samples had been smuggled out of prisons, Abu Khaizaran claimed though he declined to explain how.
