🇵🇸 1/2 - Some context and background on Palestinians detained & imprisoned by Israel :
1) A Palestinian "prisoner" does not refer to someone tried & convicted in a normal court of law that follows due process. Palestinians are detained by Israeli soldiers, https://www.addameer.org/israeli_military_judicial_system/military_courts
No arrest warrant, no right to a phone call, no lawyers present. 2) Palestinians are interrogated without lawyers present & widespread abuses amounting to torture, are documented by human rights orgs. This links to some #testimonies. https://addameer.org/publications/systematic-use-torture-and-ill-treatment-israeli-interrogation-centers-cases-torture
3) Palestinian children are also tried in specially designed "juvenile military courts". Between 500 & 700 🇵🇸 kids are tried in these courts each year. Sworn affidavits of nearly 800 child detainees show 86% were not informed of the reason for their arrest https://www.dci-palestine.org/military_detention
80% were strip-searched, 42% were denied adequate food & water, 31% were denied access to a toilet, 97% were interrogated without a family member present, 55% were shown or made to sign a paper in Hebrew, not Arabic. https://www.savethechildren.net/news/%E2%80%9Ctreated-animals%E2%80%9D-palestinian-children-face-inhumane-treatment-israeli-run-prisons
4) Israel widely uses "administrative detention" against hundreds of Palestinians. This allows for the indefinite detention of a Palestinian without charge - renewable every 6 months. Since '67, around 60,000 Palestinians were administrative detainees. https://www.btselem.org/administrative_detention

5) At least 800,000 🇵🇸shave been imprisoned at one point in their lives since 1967 by Israel, making the issue of prisoners a topic that touches all families.

6) Israel detains Palestinians from Gaza under an obscure law that strips away meaningful judicial review and due process rights. That says a lot given that Palestinian detainees from the West Bank barely have any rights. https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/03/01/gaza-unlawful-combatants-law-violates-rights
7) More than 10,000 Palestinian women have been imprisoned since 1967. Currently around 80 are imprisoned & detained by Israel.

10) Released prisoners say in addition to cutting off water & electricity, detainees report that many have had their limbs, legs, and hands broken, and many others from unrecognizable from the beating. Soldiers are filming the abuse : https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=ltu-F_2ai1M

Dismantle Israel’s carceral regime and “open-air” imprisonment of Palestinians: UN expert
GENEVA (10 July 2023) – Israel’s military occupation has morphed the entire occupied Palestinian territory into an open-air prison, where Palestinians are constantly confined, surveilled and disciplined,” a UN expert said today.
