4804 Palestinians were languishing in Israeli occupation jails including 14 women and 235 minors. 170 prisoners were from 1948 occupied Palestine, 177 from occupied Jerusalem, two from the Golan Heights, 536 from Gaza Strip, and 4099 from the West Bank.
159 were held in administrative detention, without trial or charge. 546 prisoners were serving life sentences and 1224 were held pending trials or sentences. the IPS was discriminating against Palestinian prisoners as far as prisoners’ rights were concerned, while pointing to the statement by the Shabak, the IPS and the higher court that the discrimination was “understandable and justifiable”.
