Rights groups: Israel delays trials of Palestinian prisoners
Ramallah - Saba: The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club announced on Sunday that two Israeli courts had decided to postpone the trials of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons until Wednesday. The next day, they also prevented prisoners' families from attending court. According to a joint statement by the Prisoners' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, "due to the current situation, the Ofer and Salem military courts have decided to postpone all hearings until June 18." The two institutions indicated that detention extension and administrative detention sessions will continue, and that prisoners' families will not be allowed to attend their relatives' hearings. Administrative detention is a detention order issued by an Israeli military order, allegedly based on a security threat, without an indictment. The detention period extends to six months, subject to renewal. The intelligence service presents a so-called secret file to the court, which the lawyer and/or the detainee are prohibited from reviewing. The total number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons reached approximately 10,400 by the end of May. This does not include all detainees from the Gaza Strip held in Israeli military camps, as the Israeli authorities acknowledge the detention of 2,214 Palestinians from Gaza alone, according to the Commission and the Club.

Freed Prisoner Al-Barghouti: Zionist enemy prisons are "Graveyards for living," world's silence is disgrace
Istanbul – Saba: Freed prisoner Nael Al-Barghouti affirmed that the reality faced by Palestinian detainees in the prisons of the Zionist enemy represents a humanitarian catastrophe, amid global indifference to their suffering—in stark contrast to the care and international attention given to the enemy's captives. In press statements on Wednesday, Al-Barghouti pointed out the exaggerated concern shown toward the enemy's prisoners, including official receptions in Arab countries and meetings with world leaders, while the families of victims of the genocide in Gaza—martyrs and wounded—are completely ignored, along with the daily massacres committed against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. He stressed that the prisons have become "graveyards for the living," where detainees endure daily torture, slow killing, and violations of their human dignity under unprecedented conditions—even worse than the darkest chapters of history. He compared the situation to the Inquisition, long condemned by civilization, all while the world remains shamefully silent. Al-Barghouti called for urgent action to expose what is happening inside the prisons and to reveal the Zionist policies against Palestinian prisoners, holding the international community complicit for its silence in the face of these crimes. Al-Barghouti was freed on February 19, 2025, as part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and the Zionist enemy, which the latter refused to complete by failing to proceed with the second phase that would end the ongoing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Nael Al-Barghouti (67 years old) holds special symbolic significance for Palestinians, having spent approximately 45 years in Zionist prisons—the longest detention period of any Palestinian prisoner, according to the Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Authority. This has earned him the title "Dean of Palestinian Prisoners." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
