๐ต๐ธ 1/2 - Some context and background on Palestinians detained & imprisoned by Israel :
1) A Palestinian "prisoner" does not refer to someone tried & convicted in a normal court of law that follows due process. Palestinians are detained by Israeli soldiers, https://www.addameer.org/israeli_military_judicial_system/military_courts
No arrest warrant, no right to a phone call, no lawyers present. 2) Palestinians are interrogated without lawyers present & widespread abuses amounting to torture, are documented by human rights orgs. This links to some #testimonies. https://addameer.org/publications/systematic-use-torture-and-ill-treatment-israeli-interrogation-centers-cases-torture
3) Palestinian children are also tried in specially designed "juvenile military courts". Between 500 & 700 ๐ต๐ธ kids are tried in these courts each year. Sworn affidavits of nearly 800 child detainees show 86% were not informed of the reason for their arrest https://www.dci-palestine.org/military_detention
80% were strip-searched, 42% were denied adequate food & water, 31% were denied access to a toilet, 97% were interrogated without a family member present, 55% were shown or made to sign a paper in Hebrew, not Arabic. https://www.savethechildren.net/news/%E2%80%9Ctreated-animals%E2%80%9D-palestinian-children-face-inhumane-treatment-israeli-run-prisons
4) Israel widely uses "administrative detention" against hundreds of Palestinians. This allows for the indefinite detention of a Palestinian without charge - renewable every 6 months. Since '67, around 60,000 Palestinians were administrative detainees. https://www.btselem.org/administrative_detention

๐ต๐ธ Welcome to Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps | B'Tselem
"โWelcome to Hellโ is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023.
BโTselem collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps.
"We were taken to #Megiddo. When we got off the bus, a soldier said to us: "Welcome to hell."
From the testimony of Fouad Hassan 45, from Qusrah in Nablus District"
