As every true human person knows the treatment of Palestinian prisoners for over 80 years has been many times worse than anything meted out to Israeli prisoners – but its so sad that any human being is a prisoner just to keep an illegal Occupation going – Mark

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has expressed outrage over Israel’s treatment of 32 Palestinian prisoners released as part of the Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal. 

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, “Red Cross personnel expressed outrage over the way the Israel Prison Service led the prisoners out of Ketziot on Saturday morning – handcuffed with their hands above their heads, wearing a bracelet inscribed with the phrase, ‘the eternal people never forget’.”

The Israeli Prison Service defended its actions, stating, “Prison guards are dealing with the worst of Israel’s enemies, and until their very last moment on Israeli soil, they will be handled under prison governance. We will not compromise on the security of our people.”
