Organization for Palestinian prisoners of war claimed in a statement that 4,500 people, including 41 women and 140 children, were still being held in Israeli prisons.
Palestinian Al-Youm news agency reported that institutions for prisoners of war and human rights, including the Organization of Prisoners of War and Freedoms, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, the Center for the Defense of Freedom and Civil Rights, and the Wadi Halwa-Quds Center, released a statement on Friday morning. On the occasion of Captivity Day, they announced Israeli prisons in case of the Palestinian prisoners, are violating international rules.
The Zionist occupiers have intensified regulations of law and are using Corona as a new tool to torture Palestinian prisoners, the statement said.
In this regard, Amnesty International last week strongly condemned the Zionist regime’s action to prevent the entrance of the Corona vaccine for the five million Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The organization stated in a statement that the occupying government, after providing the vaccine to the Jewish settlers, in a racist act, prevented the vaccine from being imported to the Palestinians.
Under the 1949 Geneva Accords, the occupying government is responsible for taking measures to prevent and combat the spread of infectious diseases in the occupied territories, but the occupying and apartheid Israeli regime has urged the Palestinians to rely on themselves and refused to provide them with vaccines.
