Incredible data about the prisoners’ tragedy
Official statistics revealed that more than 800 thousand Palestinians, including 15,000 female detainees and tens of thousands of children have been subject to the ongoing Israeli detention campaigns since 1967 until end of 2013.
Official statistics, released on the occasion
of Prisoner Day, on the number and state of affairs of Palestinian
prisoners in Israeli jails revealed scandalous facts about the tragedy
of Palestinian detainees.
The Ministry of Detainees and Ex-Detainees’
affairs said, in a statement that has been recently released on the
occasion, that 5000 Palestinian detainees are still held in Israeli
prisons, including 476 sentenced to life.
The statement documented the
incarceration of 19 Palestinian women and 200 children in addition to
several Palestinian minors who have, ironically, grown to maturity
inside Israeli prisons.
The prisoners’ list includes 185 cases of
administrative detention along with 11 MPs and several political leaders
distributed among 22 Israeli prisons.
Official statistics revealed that more than 800 thousand Palestinians, including 15,000 female detainees and tens of thousands of children have been subject to the ongoing Israeli detention campaigns since 1967 until end of 2013.
Such appalling figures leave little
doubt, if any, that every single Palestinian family had been put through
detention. According to the statistics, Israeli prisons and detention
centers have been built in almost every Palestinian territory.
Ever since the eruption of the second
intifada in September 2000, 80 thousand detention cases, including
10,000 children and more than 60 ex-lawmakers and ministers, were
documented.
Over the past decades, the Palestinian
socio-political scene in the occupied West Bank has been overwhelmed by
such detention campaigns. The security pretext, endemic to Israeli
alleged incarceration ruses, could no longer be maintained as a
taken-for-granted excuse.
