Two years into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and its broader assault across Palestinian territories, prisoner advocacy institutions have released a detailed fact sheet exposing the scale of atrocities committed inside Israeli prisons and military detention camps.
A Palestinian rights group warned that Israel’s use of new weapons in prisons signals a systematic escalation, putting thousands of detainees’ lives at risk.
Threats of mistreatment from one of the architects of Israeli genocide will not deter those who are fed up with the Israeli murder of Palestinians and the physical destruction of Gaza.
7 US citizens who were on the Gaza flotilla remain in Givon Prison in Israel, and have not been visited by the US embassy officials in Israel, inciting criticism.
UN experts said that the law is explicitly written to target Palestinian children – a glaring example of Israel’s policy of apartheid.
Int’l Court of Justice hearings against Israel continue; Israel deliberately spreads disease in prisons; Israel claims no evidence of humanitarian crisis in Gaza, bombs mosque, prepares to expand ground operation in Gaza; more.
For every Palestinian Israel freed in the ceasefire deal, it apprehended 15 more. The number of political prisoners in its jails has doubled since the war began.
The autopsy report for a 17-year-old Palestinian child detainee who died in Israeli custody indicates that he likely died from a combination of starvation, dehydration from colitis-induced diarrhea, & infectious complications all compounded by prolonged malnutrition & denial of life saving medical intervention.
Israel has arrested a large number of Palestinian women and children since October 7th, 2023 – many have never been charged, let alone tried for a crime.
Twenty-three child prisoners released but more than 300 minors remain in Israeli custody, many of them without charges. So, what do we know about Palestinian child prisoners and why are they tried in military courts?
