However, the police heard vague cries for help from inside and forced the toilet door open. They found a disheveled woman curled up on the ground with bedding and pillows beside her.

The Palestinian police announced to the media on the 22nd that the Gherghariya Police Station in the West Bank city had received a report that someone had been confining their daughter at home and not allowing her to go out. The police then searched this household and found that the toilet door was tightly closed. The father lied, claiming that his daughter was "relieving herself" inside.

Xinhua News Agency reported from Ramallah on January 22 (reporter Lü Yingxu): A 20-year-old Palestinian woman was rescued by the local police on the 21st after being imprisoned in the toilet of her home for 9 years by her father.
