The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission stated that 1,000 days have passed since the isolation of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, during which their rights have been violated and they have been denied their right to communicate with the outside world.
The Commission added on Sunday that this comes amidst the continued denial of access for the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit the detainees and assess their conditions.
The Prisoners’ Media Office documented a significant escalation in violations against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons during July, including torture, starvation, medical neglect, and solitary confinement, coinciding with an unprecedented rise in the number of detainees.
In a research paper it issued, the office explained that the number of prisoners reached 9,400, including 94 female prisoners, 350 children, 3,244 administrative detainees, and 1,320 detainees held under the so-called “Unlawful Combatant Law.” The number of arrests since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip has exceeded 24,600.
