Miss Palestine wears prisoners’ uniform to represent country in Miss Global 2022

Miss Palestine, Lauren Imseeh, sought to draw attention to the issue of prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons in a special way.
Lauren appeared in the prisoner’s dress, as part of the traditional dress segment during the competition, where each contestant chooses a special traditional dress to introduce her country.
Lauren wore a prisoner’s suit, and placed adhesive tapes bearing the phrases “Free Palestine” and “We can’t breathe since 1948”, on the sidelines of her participation in the international Miss Global competition 2022, which is currently being held in Bali, Indonesia.
Lauren published a video clip in the jumpsuit on her Instagram account with a song of Palestinian folk songs, standing in front of the Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park in Bali, Indonesia.
In the post Lauren wrote, “This year I focused on the message more than the outfit itself, this is why I chose the Palestinian political prisoners outfit to represent all of Palestine, to show how we are all imprisoned in our own land.” Lauren thanked her brother Edmon Imseeh and Yousef Eleiwi, who is a fashion designer from Nablus, for creating this outfit highlighting the struggles Palestinians go through daily.
