The crimes of the Israeli occupation against Palestinian prisoners have intensified since last October 7th. The occupation authorities have launched a wide-ranging campaign of arrests targeting all sectors of the Palestinian people. More than 8000 male and female detainees have been arrested since October 7th. 80% of them are held under arbitrary administrative detention without charge or trial. 16 Palestinian prisoners have been killed under torture and ill-treatment in the occupation's prisons. Thousands of Palestinians from Gaza are subjected to enforced disappearance. Dozens of detainees from Gaza have been killed during detention in military camps.
In the face of all these crimes and many others, Addameer calls those in solidarity with Palestinian political prisoners to address both the Israeli military Central Command who issues and signs thousands of orders for arbitrary administrative detention, and the Head of Israeli Prison Service responsible for all crimes committed against prisoners inside the prisons, and demand an immediate cessation of the crimes on Palestinian prisoners, using the following two texts for different emails:
“To the Israeli military Central Command: Yehuda Fox
The detention of Palestinians under administrative detention orders without informing the detainee of the nature and cause of the charge, denying them their right to a fair trial is a war crime according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Your issuance and signing of these orders expose you to legal accountability as a war criminal.
There are currently over 3600 Palestinians detained administratively in prisons without any charges.
I demand an immediate cessation of the crime of issuing administrative detention orders to detain Palestinians without charge or trial. You should be well aware that you will be subject to legal accountability for perpetrating this crime.”
The message should be sent to the emails: [[email protected] / [email protected]]
“To the Head of the Israeli Prison Service: Kobi Yaakobi
The crime of subjecting Palestinian prisoners to torture, ill-treatment, and abuse by the Israeli Prison Service forces is a war crime and a crime against humanity according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. You bear full legal responsibility for committing these crimes.
Within the prisons, 16 Palestinian prisoners have been killed in the past 6 months as a result of severe beatings, torture, ill-treatment, and medical neglect, and Palestinian prisoners continue to be subjected to policies of starvation, thirst, and deprivation of basic rights.
I demand an immediate cessation of the crimes of torture and ill-treatment against Palestinian prisoners. You should be well aware that you will be subject to legal accountability for perpetrating this crime.”
The message should be sent to the email: [[email protected]]
Please spread this call to all your networks and friends
We appreciate your solidarity.
