For #PalestinianPrisonersDay lets take a deeper look into the numbers. The @Addameer website has a great summary of the statistics for us to use to dig in: addameer.org/statistics
What does "Administrative Detainees" mean? Think Guantanamo Bay. From @Addameer it is"a procedure that allows Israeli occupation forces to hold prisoners indefinitely on secret information without charging them or allowing them to stand trial." addameer.org/the_prisoners/…
One victim of Administrative Detention is Dr. Mohammad Ghazal, Lecturer of Civil Engineering at An-Najah University. Dr. Ghazal was sentenced by an Israeli Military court based on secret information: addameer.org/prisoner/moham…
#PalestinianPrisonersDay Again from @Addameer "Approximately 700 Palestinian children under the age of 18 from the occupied West Bank" are prosecuted every year through Israeli military courts. "The most common charge (..) is throwing stones" #FreeThemAll
#PalestinianPrisonersDay These kids are being arrested, interrogated, and isolated by the Israeli military much in the same way black and brown kids in the US are by default treated as adults by law enforcement. #FreeThemAll
Emad Al-Ashhab was one such child prisoner, arrested when he was 17 by Israeli soldiers who separated him from his father at a military checkpoint and kept him in Administrative Detention for a year #PalestinianPrisonersDay addameer.org/prisoner/emad-…
Khadijah al-Raba'i, mother of 6 who suffers from an irregular heart beat, was detained by Israeli soldiers after being arrested in her home.
