"IVF" is the story of Palestinian prisoners’ wives who have turned to sperm smuggling in order to conceive children from their husbands who are serving long-term sentences in Israeli prisons. Around 7,000 Palestinians are serving time in Israeli prisons, with nearly 1,000 facing sentences of 20 years or more. Conjugal visits are denied and prisoners are separated from visitors by glass panels. In the past two years, 30 babies have been born through IVF. In this picture: Lydia Rimawi (38) during the trip to visit her husband in Ofer prison in Israel with her son Majd (2) born through artificial insemination (IVF). She lives in West Bank village of Beit Rima. Lydia’s husband, AbdelKarim, has been arrested since June 2001 and sentenced to 25 years.
