Sunday 29-March-2020

Asra Media Office has accused the Israeli occupation state of intentionally neglecting the Palestinian prisoners and their lives in its jails and not providing them with the minimum health rights especially during the coronavirus outbreak.

In press remarks to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) spokesman for Asra Media Ali al-Maghrabi said that the occupation state had never cared about the lives of prisoners before or after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic warning that the arbitrary policies used in jails “are jeopardizing the lives of prisoners.”

“To date the occupation authority has not taken the necessary precautions to protect more than 5500 Palestinian prisoners in its jails including women elderlies children and sick prisoners” Maghrabi said.

Maghrabi appealed to local Arab and international human rights groups to pressure the occupation authority to end its indifference and irresponsible attitude towards the Palestinian prisoners in its jails.
