Arab Parliament urges international community to protect Palestinian prisoners

The Arab Parliament called on the international community, the Security Council and international human rights to intervene “immediately” to protect Palestinian prisoners from “racist” Israeli measures.

The pan-Arab legislature issued a statement condemning the decisions of Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir against Palestinian prisoners by reducing their prison visits to once every two months instead of once a month.

The statement noted that the decision “threatens to detonate the conditions inside and outside prisons and would have serious regional repercussions, especially after [prisoners] decision to stage a strike on September 14 in protest against Ben Gvir’s decisions and in rejection of administrative detention.”
