Prisoners face systematic violations, the most severe and cruel in history
Today, Tuesday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club issued a paper referring to a set of policies and data regarding arrest campaigns and the issue of Palestinian prisoners in occupation prisons 200 days after the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
The Prisoner's Club said in a statement: "200 days after the genocidal war carried out by the Israeli occupation against our people in Gaza, and in light of the continuation of the comprehensive aggression, the Israeli occupation system continues to escalate the level of crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories in an unprecedented manner compared to the years in which Palestine witnessed uprisings and popular uprisings. However, this dangerous escalation constitutes an extension of the occupation’s approach based on its continuous attempt to target the Palestinian presence and impose more tools of oppression, control and censorship.”
The club stated, “Over the course of more than 6 months of continuous and escalating aggression, the occupation system, at all levels, carried out horrific and dangerous crimes against prisoners and detainees, which led to the death of at least 16 prisoners who were only announced, while the Israeli occupation continues the crime of enforced disappearance against them.” The number of dead among the ranks of prisoners and detainees compared to the historically highest time period, according to the historically available data on the numbers of dead held captive in prisons.”
The statement added, "The horrific crimes of the Israeli occupation have taken on high levels of brutality, and the systematic arrest campaigns that affected all segments of Palestinian society and from all geographies constituted the most prominent policies that reflected the level of serious crimes, including dense details of grave, systematic violations carried out by the Israeli occupation, in an attempt to undermine any state of struggle that seeks to consolidate the Palestinian right to self-determination.”
