The Coordinates of Palestinian prisoners’ intifada.
The issue of Palestinian prisoners in the prisons of the Zionist occupation regime is one of the biggest human rights issues in the contemporary world, which is unfortunately ignored under the double standards policy of Western countries.
Since the beginning of the occupation of Palestine in 1948, the Zionist regime has used the means of arrest and captivity of Palestinians as a factor to stop their struggles, along with other methods such as massacre, deportation and displacement.
Palestinian prisoners in the prisons of the Zionist regime have not stood up in recent decades and have always stood up to face the occupiers of their land in various situations.
This happened despite the severe dangers caused by the Zionist military attacks and their defenselessness against these attacks, which showed their determination and strong will for the final victory and liberation of Palestine from the tyranny of the occupiers.
In recent years, with the struggles of prominent Palestinian prisoners, such as martyr Khizr Adnan, the hunger strike has turned into a method of struggle, which has been able to bring the voice of oppression of these prisoners to the world.
The Palestinian prisoners have always used this method in their struggles in the occupied territories so that they can realize their rights guaranteed by international principles.
Statistics of Palestinian prisoners
