The Arab League has condemned in the strongest terms the violations, crimes, and brutal suppression policies of the Israeli occupation against Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
In a statement on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian Prisoners and Detainees, observed on August 3, the General Secretariat of the Arab League said that these policies are a direct result of the Israeli government's unilateral actions against the Palestinian people, amid the international community's silence.
The Cairo-based pan-Arab organization also called on the press and international human rights organizations to expose the Israeli occupation's violations and inhumane practices, which constitute blatant and flagrant breaches of international laws and norms. It urged the international community, the Red Cross, and human rights institutions to shoulder their responsibilities and work towards holding Israel, the occupying force, accountable for adhering to the Geneva Conventions concerning prisoners, SPA reported.
The Arab League also urged international justice institutions to break their silence, express strong positions, and take practical and serious steps regarding the revealed acts of brutal torture, collective punishment, and dehumanization inflicted upon Palestinian prisoners and detainees, underlining the need to compel Israel to end all forms of torture, inhumane treatment, and forced disappearances perpetrated against these prisoners and detainees.
It reiterated its solidarity and full support for Palestinian prisoners and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and their right to an independent state of their own with Jerusalem as its capital.
