Release of Palestinian Prisoners

In the past week, 240 Palestinian women and children detainees were released from Israeli prisons, including those held under administrative detention. Several of the released prisoners suffered severe injuries, such as severe burns and paralysis, while some children had been shot in the head prior to their arrest. However, despite their release, the families of the prisoners faced harsh conditions and were prevented from celebrating the reunion. At the same time, there has been a significant increase in arrests, with over 3,640 detainees, including women, university students, and journalists, being held in Israeli prisons. The Israeli military court system, which lacks fair trial guarantees, including the right to know the nature of charges, denies Palestinians due process and operates with a conviction rate exceeding 99%.
