Head of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) Fares Qaddoura sounded the alarm over the preplanned torture tactics pursued by the Israeli occupation authorities against Palestinian detainees.
Addressing the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva Qaddoura said Israel has made use of its judiciary to dash the hopes of the Palestinian detainees in violation of all international laws and resolutions.
Qaddoura said 95% of Palestinians in Israeli jails among them children have been enduring harsh mistreatment arbitrary detention and medical neglect.
The Israeli far right-wing government had also maltreated Palestinian hunger-strikers in Israeli lock-ups he added.
Harking back to the centenary of the notorious Balfour Declaration Qaddoura urged the UK government to apologize for the tragic fallouts of the pledge take a firm stance against the Israeli occupation and cease its pro-Israel positions.
PPS head expressed Palestinians’ hope that the UN would play a more efficient role to bring Israel’s unending crimes against their land and prisoners to a halt.
