19 Arab prisoners in the occupation prisons

Today, Saturday, the Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said that about (19) Arab prisoners are still languishing in the occupation prisons , and that all of them are Jordanians, some of whom hold Jordanian nationality, while others are of Palestinian origin and have Jordanian national numbers.


In a statement, the Commission stated that among the Jordanian prisoners are (9) prisoners serving life sentences (for life) for one or more times, and (5) prisoners serving sentences ranging from 20-36 years, and (3) other prisoners. They are serving sentences ranging from 10 to less than 20 years, in addition to another prisoner serving a 5-year prison sentence, in addition to an administrative detainee, and among these prisoners are those who have been detained for more than 20 years, respectively.


And it showed that these Jordanian prisoners are distributed in several prisons of the Israeli occupation, namely: "Raymon", "Nafha", "Eshel", "Gilboa", "Negev", "Eshel", "Ofer" and "Megiddo". ".


The Commission stated that they receive the same harsh treatment and are subjected to the same Israeli violations and crimes, and that the prison administration has never distinguished in its dealings and repression between a Palestinian prisoner and an Arab prisoner, and perhaps the suffering of Arab prisoners exceeds that of Palestinian prisoners because the vast majority of them are denied family visits.


The Commission called on all concerned institutions and the various media to give them more attention and shed light on their case and their worsening suffering, and to constantly seek to guarantee their freedom and the freedom of all prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons.
