Father Keeps Daughter Locked In A Bathroom - For A Decade.
Palestinian police have freed a young woman whose father kept her locked in the bathroom of their West Bank house for about a decade.
Spokesman Adnan Damiri saidthe 20-year-old woman was in a "deplorable" condition when she was found on Saturday. Damiri said on Monday it remains unclear why she was locked up.
The 49-year-old father, an Arab citizen of Israel, was detained and handed over to Israeli police.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the father was suspected of physically abusing the young woman.
He is being held in an Israeli jail pending a court hearing on Wednesday.
Rosenfeld said the woman's mother, who did not live with the family, had also been detained for questioning.
