Ahrar: 86 Palestinians from the 1948 occupied lands in Israeli jails

Ahrar center for prisoners’ studies and human rights said that there are 86 Palestinians from the 1948 occupied lands serving different prison sentences in Israel’s jails.

Ahrar center stated, in a report, that 14 Palestinians of those detainees have been in jail before the signing of the Oslo accords agreement, and 13 of them are serving life sentences.

The center noted that the Palestinian prisoners, despite their Israeli-issued blue IDs, suffer from racial discrimination and the jailers do not treat them fairly as they do with Israeli prisoners, affirming that the Israeli prison administrations impose restrictions on the Palestinian detainees, especially with regard to their visit rights and their access to basic needs.

It added that the Israeli regime also refuses to release those prisoners as part of any swap deal with the Palestinians, appealing to the Palestinian authority and human rights groups to pay special attention to the issue of the Palestinian prisoners living in the 1948 occupied lands.
