Occupied Jerusalem - SANA

The city of Tulkarm in the West Bank today witnessed a stand in support of the Palestinian prisoners in the detention camps of the Israeli occupation and condemning its continuing crimes against them.

According to the "Wafa" agency, the participants in the weekly stand in front of the Red Cross office in Tulkarm stressed the need to continue supporting the prisoners and solidarity with them in light of the violations and brutal practices they are exposed to by the occupation amid deliberate medical negligence of their right and striking against the wall of human rights charters.

The participants called on the Red Cross and human rights and humanitarian institutions to intervene urgently to save the lives of the prisoners and pressurize the occupation to stop its crimes and violations of the prisoners' rights and release the sick, the elderly, women and children whose lives are in danger in light of the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

About 4,600 Palestinian prisoners inside the Israeli occupation prisons face harsh conditions of detention, as 1,800 prisoners suffer from multiple diseases due to the spread of epidemics and germs, and among them about 700 prisoners need urgent treatment, especially cases of cancer, kidney failure and paraplegia.
