Well that’s no surprise – Mark

Freed Palestinian leader, politician and activist, Khalida Jarrar, said Israeli authorities do not treat Palestinian prisoners as human beings, describing the conditions in prisons as “the worst and most difficult since the Occupation of the West Bank in 1967”, Anadolu Agency reports.

In the early hours of Monday, Israel released 90 Palestinian prisoners under a ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement that suspended its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which has claimed more than 47,000 lives since 7 October, 2023, and left the enclave in ruins.

Jarrar, who was held in administrative detention in December 2023, was among those set free. It came after three female Israeli hostages held by the Palestinian group, Hamas, in Gaza were released. Administrative detention is a policy that allows Israeli authorities to hold individuals without charge or trial.

Speaking to Anadolu, the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, who has been arrested multiple times, said Israeli prison conditions “have never been as harsh as they are now, be it the repeated assaults or constant use of tear gas”.
